At the 2026 China International Industry Fair, ADI displayed and presented 11 chips and solutions for humanoid robots, covering ADCs and op-amps for six-axis force sensors, IMUs, a tactile board with 1,000 sensing points, driver chips for dexterous-hand finger joints, magnetic sensors, twisted-pair communication and electronic fuses, among others, demonstrated one by one by Cai Zhenyu, ADI's Director of Industrial Marketing for China. None of these exhibits is a robot built by ADI itself; the main control chip responsible for computing and scheduling in the dexterous hand is also not an ADI device—what ADI provides is the driver chip at the finger-joint end. The humanoid robot-related business currently falls under the industrial category. The report holds that humanoid robots have not yet entered large-scale mass production, and that these 11 solutions are more about securing an early position, with returns depending on the pace at which complete machines ramp up.
