An Industry Conference Focused on Mass Production

From September 17 to 18, the 2nd Humanoid Robot Industry Chain Conference & the 2nd Humanoid Robot Joint Module Innovation Forum was held at Taixuhu Holiday Hotel in Hangzhou. Crabnova Intelligent showcased its self-developed harmonic joint modules and complete robot solutions, discussing opportunities and challenges in the first year of mass production together with industrial chain partners.

The two-day conference revolved around the theme *Chain Collaboration for Symbiosis, Intelligent Drive for Mass Production*. Three special sessions were arranged for Embodied Intelligence, Joint Modules and Dexterous Hands, alongside an exhibition area. It built a face-to-face communication platform for complete machine manufacturers, component suppliers, equipment and testing enterprises.

The industry widely regards 2026 as the first year for mass production of humanoid robots, and conference topics closely centered on this. Ranging from pilot production platform construction and general robot brain systems, to reducer innovation, lightweight solutions, and cross-scenario deployment of dexterous hands, the discussions covered nearly every mass production link — from a single component to a full robot unit.

East China Sales Director Delivers Keynote Speech

Lightweight Empowerment, Inclusive Intelligent Manufacturing

At the Joint Module Session, Crabnova Intelligent’s East China Sales Director delivered a keynote speech titled *Lightweight Empowerment, Inclusive Intelligent Manufacturing — Crabnova Intelligent Joint Modules, Making Every Gram Count*. Centered on lightweight design and affordable pricing, he shared practices and insights on leveraging hundred-yuan-level harmonic joints to cut costs for humanoid robot mass production.

Module Procurement + Complete Machine Solutions

Meeting Humanoid Robot Demands Across All Scenarios

As a Wuxi enterprise specializing in harmonic reducers and joint modules, Crabnova Intelligent participated in the exhibition with two business models: module procurement and complete machine solutions. The company presented four series of harmonic joints, whose products cover all joint positions of humanoid robots including head, shoulder, elbow, wrist, waist, hip, knee and chassis. With a full-product, high-performance and cost-effective product portfolio, it addresses humanoid robot requirements across all application scenarios.

The full-body robot on display is equipped with self-developed harmonic joints from Crabnova Intelligent. Deep integration is realized among joints, drives and the complete machine structure. Crabnova Intelligent provides a full set of solutions from joint selection to robot assembly, enabling one-stop supply. Robot assembly becomes as simple as building with blocks.

The four series of harmonic modules exhibited address core pain points of humanoid robots: lightweight design, low cost, precise force control, emergency stop, and industrial deployment. The product development goal is reducing weight, lowering prices and improving consistency. Dual breakthroughs in cost performance are achieved without compromising performance, demonstrating the robust innovation strength of domestic robot components.

The Answer to Mass Production Lies in the Industrial Chain

The conference sent a clear signal: the humanoid robot industry has moved past the stage of isolated technical demonstrations. Mass production relies on the collaborative capability of the entire industrial chain — the performance and cost of core components, assembly and testing consistency, and deep coupling between complete machines and parts.

For component manufacturers, opportunities come alongside challenges. Enterprises must continuously improve technical specifications, optimize cost structures, and guarantee consistency in bulk deliveries. Crabnova Intelligent’s strategy is platformization: turning joint modules into standardized, plug-and-play "building blocks". Meanwhile, we offer two cooperation modes of module procurement and complete machine solutions, helping complete machine manufacturers focus on scenario definition and system integration.
