Ultra-miniature joint modules break the deadlock, a rising star in the motor industry | Fingertip Intelligence Engine secures tens of millions in angel round financing
Suzhou Fingertip Intelligence & Power Technology Co., Ltd. was established in August 2024, with its headquarters located in Suzhou Industrial Park. It is committed to in - depth research, production, and sales of ultra - miniature motors. In the context of the current situation where there is no good solution for the requirements of small size, high precision, large torque, and fast response of core joint modules in industries such as embodied intelligence (e.g., dexterous hands, small consumer - grade robots), medical and precision instruments, the company has launched a micro - axial flux joint module and an ultra - miniature coreless motor. With its unique system design and engineering implementation capabilities, the technical parameters and corresponding performance of the first - generation products lead similar products in the industry, and samples have been supplied to many leading domestic and foreign robot companies, technology enterprises, and research institutions.
The founder of Fingertip Intelligence & Power, Zhang Yang, graduated from the electrical engineering major of Central South University and has been deeply involved in the industry for over a decade. The co - founder of the company was a colleague of Zhang Yang at Tudatong, a representative enterprise in the lidar industry. As senior product definition and R & D leaders in the motor industry, the motor products they developed cover multiple industries such as home appliances, industry, automobiles, and medical care, and more than a dozen mass - produced products have been successfully launched. In addition to these industry veterans, the company currently has a core R & D team composed of people from well - known universities such as Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Munich, the Technical University of Berlin, and Central South University, with a profound layout in existing technological accumulation and the understanding of forward - looking directions.
Since its establishment, Fingertip Intelligence & Power has focused on the artificial intelligence and robotics industries. Its first product features an ultra - miniature and high - performance joint module. Through innovative design solutions, it has broken through the traditional concept of using coreless motors and roller screws in dexterous hand motors. The company's products adopt an innovative axial flux motor design and micro - cycloidal reducer technology, with core advantages such as miniaturization, high power density, and intelligent control. Currently, the R & D and verification of an ultra - compact joint module with Φ20mm×20mm have been completed, and a full range of high - performance products will soon be launched.

Gao Qian, the general manager of Yinfeng Capital, believes that ultra - miniature joint module products with small size and high power density are one of the keys for robots to improve flexibility and operational capabilities in the next step. Currently, there are no mature related products in the market. The Fingertip team has taken the lead in launching relevant products through innovations in key technologies such as motors and reducers, meeting the extreme requirements of robots for small size and high power density, and expanding the flexibility of robots and their ability to perform specific tasks. It is believed that through technological innovation and product iteration in the future, the Fingertip team can continuously bring better ultra - miniature joint module products to the market.
