Stabilus is known for its motion control systems, and Synapticon is well-versed in integrated drive technology and functional safety in robotics, according to reports. The two companies are now forming a strategic partnership as they believe they can unlock significant potential in the aforementioned area. The collaboration is set to result in a product line of integrated actuators in various sizes for humanoid robots, which will also be usable for other robotic systems. According to further reports, the innovations will be marketed under both brand names. Regarding areas of application, the focus is on the mobility of the head, hands, hips, and knees of humanoids. Plans are in place from the outset for large production volumes. A small series is scheduled to start next year at Stabilus' European plants. The following year, production will scale to a large series based on demand, though it will then be manufactured in North America.

The Market Opportunities are Likely Significant ...

The market for humanoid robotics is currently evolving from technical testing to initial industrial applications. However, for widespread use in production and logistics, high-quality systems will need to be manufactured in large volumes and at competitive costs. Drive technology plays a central role in robotics, according to reports. With an average of around 30 drive joints per robot and accounting for roughly half of the total material value, actuators are the most valuable component group in humanoid robots, says Stabilus. Industry forecasts predict that the market for humanoid robots will grow to approximately 38 billion dollars by 2035. By 2030, over 250,000 humanoid robots are expected to be delivered annually, according to the partners.
