China Robotics and Automation Briefing
What Chinese robot makers and automation suppliers are actually doing, and what a European supplier should do about it.
The China Robotics and Automation Briefing is a monthly briefing on Chinese industrial robotics, factory automation and machine building, researched in Beijing from Chinese sources. It is written for European machine builders, automation suppliers and industrial groups with China exposure. Each issue reports the month, takes one topic in depth, and says what it means.
