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 perform delicate operations, the six - axis force sensor is the core component that determines whether a humanoid robot can move 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 about the rise of domestic high - end sensors.
Based on Technology, from "Aerospace Genes" to "National Standard Setter"
Kunwei Technology was established in 2018. Its core team 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 combined loading calibration laboratory from the very beginning of its establishment. As the main drafting unit, it formulated the national standard GB/T 43199 - 2023 "Inspection Specification for Multi - axis Force/Torque Sensors of Robots", filling the gap in the domestic standard 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 has achieved a technological breakthrough of "small size, large range" to address the pain points of small joint spaces such as wrists and ankles that need to withstand high dynamic overloads. Its accuracy (repeatability) is better than 0.1%FS, and its 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 fully automated production. The sensitivity is 15 - 20 times that of traditional manual pasting.
• Economical CSR Series: It breaks the "involution" in the industry with high cost - effectiveness. While maintaining performance comparable to that of imported products, 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 has successfully delivered more than a hundred types of torque sensor products suitable for different joint module solutions. Since 2026, the relevant products have entered the stage of large - scale delivery.
