High-Density Joint Actuator for Humanoid Robots

The High-Density Joint Actuator, jointly developed by Neugart and Synapticon, has been specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of humanoid robots. The solution integrates a precision gearbox, motor, power electronics, encoder, and functional safety features into a compact, all-in-one unit. With a power density of up to 200 Nm/kg, the actuator sets a new benchmark for the integration of high-performance joint drives while addressing key challenges in modern humanoid robotics. 

Its modular platform is designed to support a wide range of joint sizes and is already being used in pilot projects for knee, shoulder, and wrist joints. It lays the foundation for the next generation of industrial-grade humanoid robots.
