Supported by Capital, Seize the First Year of Humanoid Robot Mass Production
Currently, the humanoid robot market is on the verge of an explosion. According to IDC data, the global shipments of humanoid robots in 2025 were approximately 18,000 units, a year - on - year increase of 508%, with Chinese manufacturers leading the world. Morgan Stanley's latest forecast shows that the sales volume of humanoid robots in China will reach 262,000 units in 2030 and climb to 2.6 million units in 2035. As leading enterprises such as Tesla and Unitree Technology steadily advance their mass - production schedules, 2026 is widely recognized by the industry as the "key window for mass - production verification and scenario implementation".
As the "tactile nerve" for robots to achieve fine operations, the six - axis force sensor is the core component that determines whether humanoid robots can evolve from "moving" to "working". Against this industrial background, Kunwei Technology has received strategic support from national - level industrial funds, leading industrial capitals, and well - known investment institutions. This round of financing not only reflects the high recognition of Kunwei Technology's technical strength by the capital market but also demonstrates the unanimous optimism of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain towards the rise of domestic high - end sensors.
Based on Technology, from "Aerospace Genes" to "National Standard Setter"
Founded in 2018, the core team of Kunwei Technology comes from aerospace research institutes and has more than 20 years of technical accumulation in the field of force perception. The company is one of the few private enterprises in China that built its own six - axis joint loading calibration laboratory from the very beginning of its establishment. It also served as the main drafting unit to formulate the national standard GB/T 43199 - 2023 "Inspection Specification for Multi - dimensional Force/Torque Sensors of Robots", filling the domestic standard gap in this field.
In response to the special needs of humanoid robots, Kunwei Technology has launched the HRS series of six - axis force sensors specifically designed for humanoid robots. This series of products addresses the pain points of small joint spaces such as wrists and ankles that need to withstand high - dynamic overloads, achieving a technological breakthrough of "small size and large range". The accuracy (repeatability) is better than 0.1%FS, and the precision (accuracy) is better than 0.5%FS.

In the technological iteration in 2025, Kunwei Technology achieved another leap - forward breakthrough:
• Ultra - high - performance Series: Using self - developed special titanium alloy materials, the weight of the sensor is reduced by nearly half. The sampling rate is as high as 30kHz, and the precision is better than 0.5%FS, breaking the monopoly of imported brands in high - end fields such as medical and scientific research.
• MEMS Strain Gauge Series: As early as 2020, semiconductor strain technology was introduced in the field of six - axis sensors, realizing full - process automated production. The sensitivity is 15 - 20 times that of traditional manual pasting.
• Economical CSR Series: Cracking the industry's "involution" with high cost - performance. While keeping the performance on par with imports, it supports micro - customization, helping customers achieve automated force control at zero cost.
To provide a one - stop robotic force perception solution, since 2023, Kunwei Technology has extended the core technology accumulated in the field of six - axis force sensors to the field of robotic joint torque sensors. It has deeply participated in the solution formulation of leading domestic and foreign joint module manufacturers and humanoid robot body manufacturers and successfully delivered more than a hundred models of torque sensor products suitable for different joint module solutions. Since 2026, the relevant products have entered the stage of large - scale delivery.
