On August 19, 2026, Qingzhuo Power Robotics Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. unveiled its 4-meter humanoid robot at the 11th World Robot Conference in Beijing. This robot features a hybrid drive system, with 39 of its 41 active degrees of freedom powered by digital hydraulic actuators, while the remaining two joints utilize electric drives. This innovative approach aims to address the limitations of traditional hydraulic systems, such as maintenance costs and leakage issues.
The significance of Qingzhuo Power's hybrid drive robot lies in its potential to meet industrial demands that electric-driven robots cannot fulfill. Applications in challenging environments, such as nuclear island maintenance and deep-sea equipment servicing, highlight the need for robots capable of handling heavy loads and high-impact tasks. By integrating digital hydraulics, Qingzhuo Power seeks to redefine the capabilities of humanoid robots in these demanding scenarios.
Looking ahead, Qingzhuo Power plans to open its core components, including micro actuators and heavy-duty joint modules, to the industry. This move could lead to the emergence of a new market for heavy-load actuator suppliers, as companies may focus on module output and control protocols rather than manufacturing entire robots. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
