Entering the year of Tesla humanoid robots, thermal management leader Sanhua Intelligent Control increased the electromechanical actuator business of bionic robots.

This evening, Sanhua Intelligent control announced that the company and its holding subsidiary Hangzhou Xiantu Electronics Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Xiantu Electronics”) and Hangzhou Qiantang New Area Management Committee (hereinafter referred to as “Qiantang Management Committee”) signed the “Sanhua Intelligent Control Future Industry Center Project Investment Agreement”, which consists of two sub-projects with a planned total investment of not less than 5 billion yuan.

Sanhua Intelligent Control also said that according to public information data, the actuator accounted for more than 80% of the hardware cost of humanoid robots, and the future robot project of the company is expected to benefit from the rapid growth of the humanoid robot market and become the driving force for the growth of the company’s performance in the future.

In the 2022 annual report, Sanhua Intelligent Control plans to cooperate with customer product development, trial production, adjustment and finally achieve mass production in 2023; At the same time, synchronously with the customer’s mass production target, and actively plan the overseas production layout of electromechanical actuators.

Cailiannews reporter noted that since 2023, Sanhua Intelligent Control has actively arranged around the electromechanical actuator business of bionic robots. In April last year, Sanhua Intelligent control announced that the company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Green Harmonic, and the two sides will jointly invest in the establishment of a joint venture in Sanhua Mexico Industrial Park, the main business is the research and development, manufacturing and sales of harmonic reducer related products.

Huaxin Securities recently reported that with the first domestic humanoid robot company Youbi landing in Hong Kong stocks, the development of domestic humanoid robot industry is expected to accelerate. Dongwu Securities Research report believes that 2024 is the year of Tesla humanoid robots, and domestic manufacturers are expected to play an important role in mass production and cost reduction.
