Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment

Since the introduction of ASIMO by Honda in 2000, humanoid robots have moved from the realm of science fiction and novelty toys to be considered as scientifically viable, useful machines. Humanoid robots are now present in home and business services, scientific research and development, and other diverse scenarios.

The mechanical design principles of humanoid robots are simple in concept but complicated in execution. The design conventions of humanoid robots mean that all components used must be compact, with high output torque, and low weight. Humanoid robots must have at least 30 degrees of freedom in all limb joints, and each joint mechanism requires a strain wave gear harmonic reducer to reduce speed and increase torque. The design conventions of humanoid robots mean that all components used must be compact, with high output torque, and low weight. In addition, humanoid robots must be able to perform acute actions that must be supported by advanced rotary actuators.
