Bringing Tactile Feedback to Robotic Hands
Humanoid robots are pushing the boundaries of engineering by mimicking not just human movement but also human sensation. While mechanical articulation and facial expressions are now common among advanced humanoids, replicating the human sense of touch remains an elusive milestone. This gap is particularly evident in robotic hands, where sensitivity and dexterity are essential for […]

Machined Components in Robotic Assemblies
Machined components are often the unsung heroes of humanoid robotics. From actuator mounts to structural frames, these parts form the physical backbone of the robot. When precision matters—and in humanoid robotics, it always does—the quality of your machined components directly impacts performance. Why Machining Matters in Humanoid Robotics In applications where multiple degrees of freedom […]

Thermal Management for Humanoid Robots
Humanoid robots are becoming increasingly powerful and compact. As they adopt more advanced processors, actuators, and sensors, the amount of heat generated inside their bodies rises significantly. Without effective thermal management, this heat can reduce performance, shorten component life, or even lead to system failure. That’s where NMB high-performance DC Fans come in. Designed to […]

How Strain Sensors Protect and Improve Humanoid Robot Movement
As humanoid robots evolve to become more agile and dynamic, understanding the forces acting on their structure becomes crucial. Structural integrity isn’t just a mechanical concern—it’s an intelligent design opportunity. This is where Strain Gauge Sensors come into play. Strain sensors measure deformation—how much a structural element stretches, compresses, or bends under load. By placing […]

Hybrid Motors for Smarter Humanoid Robot Motion
Motion control is the heart of humanoid robot functionality. Whether it’s reaching for a cup or gesturing during conversation, every movement a humanoid robot makes is the result of a carefully choreographed sequence of motor-driven actions. For developers balancing cost, performance, and complexity, the choice of actuator is critical. This is where our Hybrid Motors […]
