Hard Kr has learned that Shenzhen Nuoshi Robot Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Nuoshi Robot") recently completed its Angel + round of financing, which was exclusively invested by SAIC Venture Capital. This is also SAIC Venture Capital's first foray into the upstream core components of humanoid robots. The financing funds will be used to support the mass production of C5-grade planetary roller screws.
"Nuoshi Robot" was founded in July 2023 and evolved from a family business with over 30 years of experience in screw manufacturing. Professor Xu Genlin, the first-generation founder, has over 30 years of experience in screw theory research and production. The second-generation founder Xu Yang, co-founder Wang Xiaobin, and the main team members all come from the Valeo Group. The company focuses on the design, production, and manufacturing of planetary roller screws and supporting actuator modules. It has developed the world's smallest planetary roller screw, which has been commercially verified by leading customers. It has established a research and development center in Shenzhen and a production base in Shanghai to ensure the production efficiency and quality stability of core components.

As a high-end precision transmission component, the planetary roller screw has obvious advantages in many aspects such as load-bearing capacity and service life compared with traditional trapezoidal screws and ball screws. On the one hand, it can carry a larger load and provide reliable transmission support for various high-precision and high-load mechanical equipment. On the other hand, its service life far exceeds that of trapezoidal screws and ball screws, which can effectively reduce the maintenance cost and downtime of equipment and improve the overall production efficiency.
However, due to its extremely complex grinding and processing technology, which involves multiple processing steps and strict quality control requirements, from the selection of raw materials to the precise operation of production line steps, professional technology and advanced equipment support are required. At present, the large-scale, low-cost, and miniaturized production of planetary roller screws is a "bottleneck" problem common to the global manufacturing industry.
Especially in the field of humanoid robots, dexterous hands have extremely high requirements for miniature screws. However, in the large-scale mass production stage, they have long faced severe challenges such as high costs and long delivery cycles. The high cost has led to a significant increase in the overall cost of humanoid robots, limiting their application and popularization in the market. At the same time, the long delivery cycle will further affect the product development rhythm and market launch speed.
Based on years of technological accumulation, "Nuoshi Robot" has once again broken through the bottleneck of C5-grade precision screws on the basis of its previous products and developed a new model of the world's smallest planetary roller screw. The screw diameter is 1.5mm, and the nut diameter is 5.5mm. It can be easily integrated into the dexterous hands of humanoid robots, ensuring the accuracy and stability of hand movements while maintaining high precision and high load capacity without increasing additional volume and weight, which helps to achieve the compact and lightweight design of robots.

On the production side, "Nuoshi Robot" uses a unique high-precision metal forming process and has achieved stable mass production of C5-grade precision planetary roller screws, which can be widely used in fields such as humanoid robot joints and dexterous hands, semiconductors, lithium battery coating equipment, medical equipment, and industrial machine tools.
Hard Kr has learned that currently, "Nuoshi Robot" has won orders from leading new forces and is accelerating the application and mass delivery in niche fields. At the same time, it has broad cooperation space with SAIC Group in the automotive chassis fields such as EMB braking, steering, and suspension. In the future, the company will continue to carry out the forward design of planetary roller screws and actuators, build and master the complete set of production processes, and achieve independent production.

Opinion of the Investor:
The investment team of SAIC Venture Capital said that as a high-end precision transmission component, the planetary roller screw has far better performance in terms of load-bearing and service life than trapezoidal screws or ball screws. However, the grinding and processing technology is complex, and large-scale, low-cost, and miniaturization are global bottleneck problems. Based on 30 years of technological accumulation, Nuoshi Robot uses a unique process to break through the bottleneck of mass production of C5-grade precision and has significant price advantages. The company's products can be widely used in industries such as humanoid robot joints and dexterous hands, semiconductors, medical, and lithium batteries, and have broad cooperation space with SAIC Group in the automotive chassis (EMB braking, steering, suspension) field. SAIC Venture Capital will, as always, firmly implement SAIC Group's technological innovation strategy and the requirements of investing in early-stage, new, and technological projects, actively promote and implement the close collaboration between the investment team, invested enterprises, and the industry, and help the group's innovation, upgrading, and transformation and development.
