Chengdu, Sichuan servo-drive and joint-module maker founded 2017; supplies humanoid-robot actuation joints to more than ten robot manufacturers.
Chengdu Aerospace Kate Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd., known as Kate, is based in Qingrong Town, Pidu District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Founded in 2017 by Jiang Liping, the company grew from a small office into a facility exceeding 8,000 square meters within seven years and holds a national high-tech enterprise designation and a "little giant" specialized-enterprise designation.
Kate's original business is FOD edge-light detectors, optical components, servo drivers, servo motors, turntables, and electro-optical detection systems for aviation, aerospace, and maritime customers. Building on that servo-drive base, the company now also builds a modular robot-joint unit combining a motor, reducer, encoder, and drive controller in one housing across nearly 30 variants; the design targets weight cuts of up to 22 percent and is meant to cover roughly 80 percent of a humanoid robot's joint types, including hip, shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints. Kate supplies these modules to more than ten humanoid-robot makers and partners with Sichuan Embodied Humanoid Robot Technology on joint development; regional media project over 80 million yuan in 2026 revenue from this line as new lines raise capacity toward 150,000 units a year.
As of late 2023 the company had more than 70 employees, a figure regional media report has since roughly doubled; Kate holds over 100 patents.
