Nidec Showcases Humanoid Robot Joint Solutions Under One Nidec Model
1 reports · 1 sources
At the Shanghai Industrial Fair in October 2026, Nidec exhibited for the first time under a joint "One Nidec" posture, packaging motors, reducers, sensors and other components into joint-level system solutions for humanoid robots. Its self-made actuators have already been deployed in its own factories at approximately 10,000 axes, with cumulative validation exceeding 40,000 hours; after meeting internal reliability requirements, they began to be introduced to the market this year. The torque sensors on display achieve a thickness in the 10 mm range, and the six-axis force sensor can withstand high torque loads of up to 10:1; both products have been included in the mass-production product catalog for humanoid robots. The report also notes that Nidec envisions exchanging product data with complete-machine manufacturers using its own production-line data, believing that real production-line data has scarce value in embodied intelligence iteration; however, for Nidec, this cooperation model is currently still an assigned-topic exercise.

- Nidec Enters Humanoid Robot Supply Chain with Joint-Level Interfaces
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.
