Jiangsu Leili Electric Motor is tackling the critical issue of mechanical stiffness in humanoid robots, which affects their ability to balance flexibility and stability. Their subsidiary, MINDSYNC TECH, showcased a dexterous robotic hand capable of performing tasks such as calligraphy and operating precision instruments, demonstrating significant advancements in addressing stiffness.
The dexterous hand requires multiple micro motors for human-like joint movements. Traditional iron-core motors are bulky and inefficient, while hollow cup motors offer higher power density and lighter weight, making them essential for high-end dexterous hands. Jiangsu Leili's subsidiary has developed a full range of hollow cup motors and achieved automated production, enhancing their capabilities in gearboxes and precision gear transmission.
Currently, the price of a single dexterous hand ranges from 10,000 to 60,000 yuan. MINDSYNC TECH's General Manager, Wang Wenwei, noted that most humanoid robots in factories still use basic two-finger grippers, limiting their functionality. The industry anticipates that large-scale industrial applications of dexterous hands will take 1-2 years, aligning with the maturation of humanoid robot cost curves.
