2023年1月26日——丹麦协作机器人公司优傲机器人（Universal Robots）公布2022年第四季度收入达8500万美元，这使其2022年的收入达3.26亿美元，相比2021年增长5%。按固定汇率计算，年增长率为12%。
The company’s Chief Financial Officer, Kim Andreasen, said: “We are proud to have continued to grow our business despite facing a difficult macroeconomic environment in 2022.

该公司首席财务官Kim Andreasen表示：“尽管2022年宏观经济环境艰难，但我们仍然取得业务增长，对此我们感到自豪。我们专注于我们能够控制的事情，克服了供应链挑战，获得了我们迄今为止高的年度收入。”
The demand for automation in Europe slowed in 2022 following the start of the war in Ukraine. Universal Robots’ results have also been impacted by the change in exchange rates, which created an additional headwind to growth.
乌克兰战争爆发后，欧洲对自动化的需求在2022年放缓。优傲机器人的业绩也受到汇率变化的影响，对增长带来了额外的阻力。
Poised to meet growing demand
致力于满足不断增长的需求
Despite the change in global markets, overall demand for automation is predicted to continue to grow in 2023 and beyond, driven by growing labor shortages and changing workplace expectations.
尽管全球市场有所变化，但整体来看，劳动力短缺的日益严重以及人们对工作环境的新期望预计将在2023年及更长远的未来持续推动自动化需求增长。
Universal Robots has taken steps in 2022 to meet this growing demand. The company’s President, Kim Povlsen, said: “We invested last year in building world-class expertise in welding, palletizing and machine tending. We have also been working with our ecosystem partners to make automation easier for our customers than ever before. 2022 has been an important year for the company overall. We started construction on new headquarters, reached our 1000 employee milestone and launched a ground-breaking new cobot.”
