Nanhai district of Foshan city, Guangdong province put forward the idea of building a China (Guangdong) Robot Integration Innovation Center in 2016. 

The goal was to cultivate an intelligent equipment industry with industrial robots at its core to serve as the basic industry for manufacturing development.

The innovation center was built after the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology gave its approval in 2017.

The center’s industrial park covers more than 170 acres, with a plant area of around 50,000 square meters.
