Shenzhen-based component supplier founded 2023, making world's smallest planetary roller screws (Φ1.5mm) and linear actuators for humanoid robot joints.
Shenzhen Nous Robot Co., Ltd. (brand: NOUS ROBOT) was founded in 2023 as a spin-off from a family manufacturing business with over 30 years of screw-making experience. The company focuses exclusively on the design and in-house production of planetary roller screws and linear actuators for humanoid robot applications. Its headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located at 5F, Building 5, Bantian Group Building, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
NOUS ROBOT achieved a notable engineering milestone by successfully mass-producing the world's smallest planetary roller screws: Φ1.5 mm outer diameter, nut diameter 5.5 mm, C5 precision class, widely adopted in humanoid robot dexterous-hand transmission. Its product lines span four families: (1) Planet Roller Screw Series — including Mini PWG Differential, RVI Reverse, RVD Differential, and standard RV types; (2) Linear Actuators — covering Dexterous Hand Mini Electric Cylinders (combining planetary roller screws with brushless coreless or frameless torque motors), Humanoid Limbs Linear Actuators for thigh and arm joints (maximum thrust 8,000 N, service life 3 million cycles, no overheating under sustained high-load conditions), and Industrial Heavy-duty variants; (3) T-type Lead Screws; and (4) application-specific actuators for automotive steering and EMB braking systems.
The company has received Series A financing exceeding CNY 100 million (completed March 2026), with SAIC Ventures as a lead investor — one of the earliest institutional investments in humanoid robot core components from the automotive sector. NOUS ROBOT has exhibited at WAIC (World Artificial Intelligence Conference), the Tokyo International Robot Exhibition (IREX), and the World Robot Conference (WRC). It won the Emerging Award at the Zhangjiang Embodied Intelligence Developer Conference and Second Prize in the 14th China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (High-end Equipment Manufacturing National level). A new production base, NOUS ROBOT (Suzhou), commenced operations in 2026. The CEO is Xiaobin Wang; the Chairman and CTO is Yang Xu.
