The key role of robot joint actuators in humanoid robots

From quadruped robots, robotic arms, collaborative arms, composite robotic arms, bipedal robots, bionic robots to humanoid robots, new robot species will continue to emerge in the next twenty years, whether based on the macro environment or technological development.

At present, humanoid robots are developing rapidly, but there are still shortcomings in key basic components, special operating systems, large artificial intelligence models, general machine products and industrial ecology. Key components such as roller screws, smart hands, operation control, and chip removal all have great room for improvement.


Humanoid robot manufacturers often announce self-developed joint actuators due to many factors such as cost, high performance and confidentiality. In the case of Tesla, Maske revealed on Tesla's second quarter earnings call in 2023 that the main reason for Optimus' limited capacity was the lack of off-the-shelf actuators, so they decided to start developing their own actuators.

Our joint modules greatly save robot development costs

The robot joint actuator has the advantages of large output torque/weight density, simple and compact structure, and low manufacturing cost, Therefore, it will also be applied to the field of industrial robots and collaborative robots.
