Since factory automation is an important trend in semiconductor industry, many companies have developed the related robotic arms or a series of robots. “The differentiation is that no other companies like us that most of the key components of robot, including server, controller, motors, and batteries are manufactured by itself.” said Yancey Hai, the company's Chairman.

Peter Peng, Director of Robotic Automation Business Dept. at IABG of Delta Electronics claimed that one of the features of the SCARA DRS40L

is that it is easily to be integrated and paired with other equipments of the factory automation to form a work shop.

When asked about the roadmap of robots, Yancey Hai emphasized that the company will focus on industrial robots currently with the reason that robots designed for home care is still immature. “To some degree, robots are dangerous. Whether it is suitable for home care is still unknown and has a lot of uncertainty, for example, if you want to shake hands with your home care robots, it is hard to say it won't punch you in the face. Industrial robots are framed to do some certain works, one of the reason is in terms of the safety.”

According to IMS Research & IMF Forecast, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the market demand of robots will be 5 percent from 2014 to 2015.
