"Currently our products mainly work as guides for visitors, as well as do some consultancies or work in medical and healthcare industries. We have been cooperating with banks, real estate agencies and hotels in a bid to popularize the use of the robots."
“目前我们的产品主要为访客做向导，以及做一些咨询或在医疗和保健行业工作。我们一直与银行、房地产代理和酒店合作，以普及机器人的使用。”
Some robots are useful assistants in carrying out life-saving surgeries. Among them is the robot produced by Remebot, a high-tech startup which has been focused on creating robots for medical use since 2010.
一些机器人是进行救命手术的得力助手。其中包括由Remebot生产的机器人，Remebot是一家高科技创业公司，自2010年以来一直致力于建造医用机器人。
The firm’s training manager says the medical robots have been performing well. "In the meantime, we send the surgery plan to hospitals in small cities. When hospitals programme the robot, the robot can follow the plan well. After that, those doctors can finish the surgery successfully with the assistance from robots."
该公司的培训经理说，医疗机器人表现良好。“同时，我们将手术计划发送到小城市的医院，医院给机器人制定计划时，机器人可以很好地遵循计划，此后，那些医生可以在机器人的帮助下成功地完成手术。”
Stats from the International Federation of Robotics show that China is by far the largest robot market in the world with 68 thousand robots sold annually.
