Humanoid Robots

Humanoid robots are used for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, that can help assist us with daily activities. Highly developed humanoid robots require smooth movements for joint positioning and motion cycles that mimic humans. High positional accuracy, zero backlash, low vibration, maximum torque capacity, as well as lightweight and compactness are a necessity for drive components for such robot structures. The Next Generation Nidec FLEXWAVE high precision simple contained assembly and component sub-assembly gear reducers are the ideal choice for these types of applications.

The Next Generation Nidec FLEXWAVE offer robot designers virtually unlimited flexibility and adaptability when designing highly innovative drive mechanisms.
