Key Material Solutions for Simulation Design in Humanoid Robots

Key Material Solutions for Simulation Design in Humanoid Robots

As humanoid robots enter the first year of mass production, material technology has become the core driving force for functional breakthroughs. Simulated robots, which mimic human structures, require a balance of lightweight, flexibility, sensory interaction, and durability.

Advanced Materials for a New Generation of Robots

Our advanced material solutions, including thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), PC/ABS alloys, glass-reinforced nylon and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), are designed for the following key applications:

  • Skin Tissue and Soft Touch Surfaces - TPE materials provide realistic touch and elasticity, highly simulating human skin while ensuring durability and wear resistance.
  • Structural Housing and Frame - PC/ABS alloy and glass fiber reinforced nylon have excellent high-strength and lightweight characteristics, making them ideal for lightweight rigid structures in robots.
  • High-load Robot Arm Components - PEEK's excellent mechanical properties and high temperature resistance make it an ideal material for high-stress components such as bearings.

Enhancing Emotional Interaction with Smart Materials

Among them, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) soft touch materials, temperature-sensitive color-changing materials, light-sensitive color-changing materials and conductive materials give the robot richer emotional changes and design ideas, presenting a more realistic simulation effect.

  • ​​Thermochromic and Light-sensitive Color-changing Materials​​ – can achieve dynamic color conversion according to environmental changes, enhancing the human-computer interaction experience.

  • ​​Conductive Materials​​ – help sensors integrate seamlessly and achieve realistic tactile feedback.

The Future of Humanoid Robots Depends on Materials Innovation

As the industry evolves, materials science will continue to bridge the gap between mechanical functionality and human-like adaptability. Our solutions are at the forefront of this transformation, enabling robots to move, sense and interact with unprecedented realism.
