The complexity of the semiconductor manufacturing process is increasing day by day, involving hundreds of process steps, with the entire processing cycle from wafer to packaged chip lasting six to eight weeks. As process technology evolves from 90 nm to 3 nm, the requirements for feature size accuracy under SEMI standards have shown exponential improvement, … Read more
When Tesla’s Optimus takes its first step and Boston Dynamics’ Atlas performs a backflip, what you see is algorithmic prowess, but what I see is the motors “carrying the entire industry forward.” Motors account for over 25% of the cost of humanoid robots, with each robot requiring 40 joint motors, while the global motor market … Read more
The humanoid robot industry has made rapid progress this year, accelerating from technological research and development to production capacity. As a “technology complex,” it relies on key components such as motors and reducers to support it — among which the motor is the “heart” of the robot, determining the precision of joint movements and the … Read more
Source | Motor Research Institute Precise, efficient, and powerful, micro motors enable the flexible movement of robots In our daily lives, from smart vacuum robots to mechanical arms in factories, the flexible movements of these machines rely on their ‘joints’—the motors. But did you know? The motors used in robot joints are not ordinary motors; … Read more
While my son was at school, driven by curiosity, I secretly disassembled his remote-controlled tank to see its internal structure for future modifications. The toy’s existing functions include remote control for moving forward, backward, turning in place, side movement, and firing bullets. I directly removed the wheels, and the wheel structure is indeed clever. Reverse … Read more
The comparison between PCB motors and APC motors is a topic of great interest among many engineers. A decade of experience has shown that the decision to abandon PCB motors often stems from their obvious shortcomings! PCB motors suffer from low current density, making it difficult to increase power, and they perform poorly in high-power … Read more
