Don't underestimate these lines, these are not embroidery threads, but in "connecting the Smart World"-intelligent connections.
A little more material, the robot is currently very tall things, robot control system of communication network more and more applications of industrial Ethernet, if the controller is the human brain, then industrial Ethernet is the nervous system, used to transmit a variety of sensory signals and action instructions.
