## Summary

At the Shanghai Industrial Fair, Nidec exhibited for the first time under a unified "One Nidec" banner, packaging motors, reducers, sensors, and other components into joint-level system solutions for humanoid robots. Its self-made actuators have already been deployed at about 10,000 axes in its own factories, with cumulative validation exceeding 40,000 hours, and the company began bringing them to market this year. The torque sensors on display are as thin as the 10 mm class, and the six-axis force sensors can withstand high torque loads of up to 10:1. The article also analyzes its idea of exchanging product data with robot makers using data from its own production lines, noting the scarcity value of real production-line data in embodied intelligence iteration.
