Harmonic Rotary Actuator Helps Implement the World’s First Track-Changing Aerial Mobile Smart EV DC Charging Station
China’s first track-changing aerial mobile smart EV DC charging station has begun trial operations in over 10 cities. This project utilizes three major technologies: aerial track free lane switching, AI robotic automatic charging, and suspended installation design. The high precision, high torque, and lightweight characteristics of the harmonic rotary actuator have been crucial to the successful implementation of this project.
Why Could the Harmonic Rotary Actuator Make Such a Significant Contribution?
1. Harmonic Rotary Actuator Has a Built-in Harmonic Reducer
The zero-backlash and high-precision features of the harmonic rotary actuator enable it to perform minute angular adjustments. This ensures perfect alignment between the charging plugs and the vehicle's charging port in three-dimensional space—a prerequisite for fully automated charging plug targeting. Accurate and error-free insertion and extraction are essential to guarantee charging safety and extend the equipment's service life.
2. Harmonic Rotary Actuator Employs Lightweight Design
The aerial track system imposes strict requirements on the weight and volume of each moving unit. An overly heavy robotic arm would increase load and power consumption. As a key component of the robotic arm, the harmonic rotary actuator plays an important role in helping structural engineers design compact and lightweight robotic arms.
3. Harmonic Rotary Actuator Uses an Integrated Design
The harmonic rotary actuator is an integrated unit that combines a harmonic reducer, motor, and encoder. It converts the motor’s high-speed, low-torque output into low-speed, high-torque motion. This allows the robotic arm to perform more flexible and stable grasping, completing the charging plug insertion and extraction actions. The integrated design also reduces R&D time, enabling faster project deployment.

Robot Dogs with Planetary Joint Motors Performed Well in China's 93rd Victory DayOn September 3, 2025, China held a large-scale military parade for 93rd victory day, during which it showcased the "Mechanical Wolf," a robotic dog belonging to the Army's unmanned combat unit. The HONPINE planetary joint motor perfectly matches the joint requirements of robot dogs.
Robot Joint Motors Empower Robots with Flexible Movement in Multiple Degrees of FreedomRobot Joint motors can be freely combined to form multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic arms and serve as the internal framework for service robots, breaking the industry's conventional product design paradigms. They not only meet performance requirements but also foster innovation within the sector. For instance, the smallest models can be applied in gimbals and drones, while the largest models are suitable for humanoid robots and robotic arms. Applications span industrial robots, civilian service robots, specialized robots, machining industries, precision instruments, transportation vehicles, and medical equipment.- How High-Precision Reducers Drive the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing TechnologyPrecision reducers are key enablers in intelligent manufacturing, providing the critical link between digital algorithms and physical motion. They ensure high-accuracy positioning in laser/visual navigation systems, enable precise wheel control in mobile robots, and guarantee repeatable motion in robotic arms. Their near-zero backlash characteristics allow manufacturers to achieve unprecedented levels of automation precision and reliability.
Trends in Humanoid Robotics from WAIC 2025: High Torque Micromotors for Robotic Joints Become MainstreamAt the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), official data showed over 150 humanoid robots were exhibited simultaneously, with numerous manufacturers showcasing their products' comprehensive capabilities and latest achievements. The exhibition demonstrated significant expansion in humanoid robots' application scenarios, with major exhibitors presenting cutting-edge research outcomes and remarkably rapid technological iterations. Compared to last year, this year's robots are more lightweight, precise, and dynamic, with increasing adoption of high-torque micro motors in robotic joints.- Harmonic Reducer Enables Industrial Humanoid Robot Walker S2 to Achieve Autonomous Battery Replacement for 24/7 OperationWithout requiring manual intervention or shutdown, the humanoid robot can autonomously replace its battery in just 3 minutes. UBTECH Robotics, headquartered in Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, recently announced exciting news: its new-generation industrial humanoid robot Walker S2 incorporates the world's first hot-swap autonomous battery replacement system for humanoid robots. This breakthrough technology endows Walker S2 with 24/7 continuous operation capability, establishing the foundation for smart manufacturing to achieve "non-stop next-generation productivity." The harmonic reducer's high reduction ratio, zero backlash, exceptional precision, high torque density, and lightweight design make it the optimal choice for joints in comparable industrial robots.
- HONPINE keeps up with the era of Industry 5.0 and better serves human-machine collaboration through precision transmission technologyThe concept of Industry 4.0, which corresponds to Industry 5.0, first appeared in Germany. In short, Industry 4.0 is to promote industrial transformation through information technology. It is an intelligent industrial era based on the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. 5G technology, known as the "new engine of digital economy", is a product that closely fits the core concept of Industry 4.0 and is recognized by the world.
- Kawasaki Heavy Industries Launches the CORLEO Robot Horse: Harmonic Reducers Play a Key RoleKawasaki Heavy Industries has introduced the CORLEO, a highly agile robotic horse capable of traversing water, jumping, running, and striking dynamic poses. Designed to conquer challenging terrain, CORLEO's leg movement system features independently driven units for each limb, delivering exceptional stability and shock absorption. Its hind legs operate independently from the front, enabling smooth navigation over rough surfaces while maintaining the rider’s balance—even on stairs or uneven ground.
