During the 2026 World Robot Conference, Hanwei Technology Group Co., Ltd. showcased five types of embodied perception products, including tactile and olfactory sensors. The company also launched the HAU925, a nine-axis inertial sensor chip aimed at embodied intelligence, and demonstrated various advanced sensing technologies. Chairman Ren Hongjun discussed production rhythms and industry strategies, highlighting the growing importance of perception in robotics.
The significance of these developments lies in Hanwei's focus on perception as a foundation for intelligent robotics. The company’s electronic skin technology, which has already reached over 30 clients, is poised to enter mass production, marking a critical point in its commercialization. Meanwhile, other sensory products are expected to scale up within two to three years, although significant profits may take longer to materialize.
Looking ahead, Hanwei anticipates a shift in the robotics industry towards greater emphasis on embodied perception. However, challenges remain in integrating perception technologies into practical applications. The company aims to address these gaps by providing essential data collection infrastructure, including motion capture suits and data gloves, to support the industry's evolving needs.
