The battle for the "heart" of humanoid robot joints

With the continuous breakthrough of technology and the expanding market, humanoid robots have become an important development direction in the field of future technology. Recently, China's humanoid robots are accelerating their evolution, and the humanoid robot industry chain is even experiencing high-speed development. 

The humanoid industry chain involves the upstream, midstream, and downstream. The upstream includes the development of core components and software systems, the midstream is the manufacturing of humanoid robot bodies, the downstream is the terminal application market of humanoid robots. Among them, the upstream core components include servo systems, reducers, sensors, controllers, etc. quality and technical level of these components directly affect the performance and stability of the robot. 

 At present, China's humanoid robot industry chain has formed a pattern of accelerated replacement of upstream components, technological breakthroughs of midstream whole machine manufacturers, and diversification of downstream application scenarios. As the core part of the humanoid robot joint, reducer accounts for about 30% of the total cost of the machine. By adjusting the motor speed and torque, high-precision motion control can be achieved. Its performance affects the flexibility, stability, and load capacity of the robot, which is equivalent to the "heart" of the robot joint. Therefore, the reducer technology, as a key in the humanoid robot industry chain, has attracted much attention from the industry.  

Reducers are divided into three categories: general-purpose, special-purpose, and reducers according to their purpose and precision. Among them, precision reducers are required for humanoid robots, mainly including harmonic reducers, RV reducers, and planetary redu. In the market, many listed companies have shown strong strength in the field of humanoid robot reducers. They actively promote the development and application of humanoid robot redu technology with their respective technological advantages and market layout. The highlights of these companies not only lie in their deep technological accumulation but also in their ability to keep up with market demand, continuouslyate products, and improve service quality, injecting strong impetus into the development of humanoid robots. Recently, it is the period when listed companies disclose their reports. This article has made a relevant inventory of listed companies involved in reducers in the humanoid robot industry chain.
