BSE-listed Wuhan auto-electronics maker expanding into vehicle-grade force sensors, encoders and integrated joints for robots.
Hubei Kait Automotive Electronic & Electrical Systems Co., Ltd., traded on the Beijing Stock Exchange under stock code 920978, is a Wuhan, Hubei-headquartered manufacturer founded on October 14, 1996. According to its corporate registration record, the company's registered business scope spans automotive component manufacturing, electronic component production and sales, integrated-circuit chip design and manufacturing, industrial automatic control system devices, technical services, mold making, plastic products, machined mechanical parts, and import-export trade. Its historical core business, per the same registration filing, centers on three product families -- sensors, controllers, and actuators -- including temperature sensors, light sensors, speed-regulation modules, and DC-motor, stepper-motor and brushless-motor actuators supplied into automotive electronic and electrical systems.
Per the company's own profile published on the official 2026 World Robot Conference exhibitor directory, Kait describes itself as a nationally recognized Specialized-and-Sophisticated "Little Giant" enterprise with three decades of experience in vehicle-mounted sensing, actuation and control, and states it has built mature original-equipment supply relationships with automakers over that period. The same profile states that the company has expanded beyond its original automotive-electronics base into three additional tracks: new-energy vehicles, embodied intelligence, and the low-altitude economy.
For its embodied-intelligence line, Kait states that it has built a vehicle-grade hardware supply chain covering five product families: force sensing, position sensing, current sensing, joint motors, and integrated joints. The company describes in-house development of six-axis force and torque sensors, high-precision inductive encoders, and frameless, axial-flux and slotless motor designs, together with standardized miniature integrated joint modules, all adapted for humanoid and collaborative robot applications. Kait states that it has full in-house research and development capability spanning hardware, software, mechanical structure and communications-bus design, and that it holds multiple core patents, though the exact patent count and detailed technical specifications for the robotics product line were not disclosed in the sources reviewed.
At the WRC 2026 exhibition in Beijing, Kait's booth displayed four robotics-oriented exhibits: a frameless torque motor, an integrated joint module, a six-axis force sensor, and an inductive encoder, none of which carried a published model number or a numeric performance specification in the material reviewed. Kait's own corporate website could not be independently loaded during this review because of a TLS certificate hostname mismatch on the domain; the facts above were instead drawn from the company's exhibitor-directory profile and from third-party financial-data aggregation of its Beijing Stock Exchange filing, and should be treated as pending confirmation against the company's own site once it can be successfully fetched.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
Frameless torque motor for humanoid and collaborative robot integrated joints, part of Kait's vehicle-grade embodied-intelligence hardware line.
Standardized miniature integrated joint module combining motor, sensing and control for humanoid and collaborative robot limbs.
Self-developed six-axis force and torque sensor for robot force sensing and manipulation, built on Kait's automotive-grade sensor platform.
