Science Talent

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote fostering talent with advanced

manufacturing skills, particularly the application of industrial robots, to boost the development of the advanced manufacturing industry, an official said on October 11.

Fu Jianqi made the remarks at a press conference for the

Third National Industrial Robot Technology Application Skills Competition, whose final is to be held in Jinan in east China’s Shandong Province on October 18-20.

This year’s competition features the application of automatic guided vehicles and increases the difficulty in assembling tasks, Fu said.

Contestants from 30 provinciallevel regions across China and 16 central state-owned enterprises will participate in this year’s competition.

The product is composed of an accelerator system and a treatment system, which includes two treatment rooms that can provide carbon-ion beams for the treatment of malignant tumors.

The approval of the system marks a new step in the development of high-end medical equipment in China. It will also contribute to the development of cancer diagnosis and treatment in the country, according to the NMPA.

A report published by the National Cancer Center in 2017 showed that China has nearly 25 percent of the world’s new cancer cases, with 10,000 cancer patients added per day. Every year, there are 2 million cancer-induced deaths. Lung, breast and stomach cancers are the most common types.
