Tech Bites: Precise motion for humanoid robot joints 🤖⚙️ Humanoid robotics is considered one of the most promising key technologies for the industrial production of the future. As a leading Motion Technology Company, Schaeffler is actively shaping this development – both as a user of Humanoids and also a components supplier to Humanoid OEMs. With 80 years of experience, extensive manufacturing expertise and strong vertical integration, Schaeffler is ideally positioned to help shape the next generation of robotics. This is also reflected in the company’s recognition by receiving the prestigious Hermes Award, presented by Deutsche Messe AG at the opening ceremony of Hannover Messe last week. The award honored Schaeffler’s scalable actuator platform for humanoid robotics, which comprises highly integrated actuators for use in humanoid robot joints. The award underlines the company’s key role as a component supplier in this future market. One example of this platform is the planetary gear actuator. It consists of a highly efficient electric motor with integrated power electronics, precise encoders and an efficient planetary gearbox. Its task is to move joints such as the hip, knee and shoulder. But how exactly does it work? 🎥 In the new Tech Bites episode, you can learn how planetary gear actuators are designed and what role they play in humanoid robotics.
