The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has decided to set up a central Taiwan industrial innovation and R&D special zone in the Chung Hsing New Village High-level Research Park to forge an R&D-oriented industrial research cluster. According to the initial plan, the ITRI will base the future development of central Taiwan and the orientation and function of the high-level research park on investing in R&D technology related to life in central Taiwan. The ITRI will work with organizations and schools in the central part of the country to build an R&D platform that will provide added creative value for central Taiwan's industries. In terms of the development of smart machinery technology development, the ITRI will also work with institutional organizations, machine tool manufacturers and others to forge a new generation machine tool industry alliance. The ITRI also plans to develop medium- and high-end embedded motion controllers to break the monopoly held by big international vendors. It anticipates the market for controller functions will be among the biggest among smart machinery over the next five to eight years.
