Kinco

The 2025 GGII Humanoid Robot Annual Conference kicked off grandly in Shenzhen, bringing together more than 400 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain and over 1,000 industry guests. It has become a pivotal exchange platform in the Year of Key Commercial Deployment for the Humanoid Robot Industry.

Since the beginning of this year, the humanoid robot sector has witnessed inspiring milestones: multiple major orders have been signed, the performance of core components continues to upgrade, application scenarios have gradually moved from laboratories to industrial pilots, and the pace of industrial deployment has accelerated across the board.

Against this backdrop, addressing key challenges and accelerating mass production and commercialization have become the core focus of the entire industry.

As a leading brand in motion control for the robotics industry, Kinco has launched a full-stack motion control solution targeting core pain points of humanoid robots, including motion control, cost optimization and reliability improvement, contributing Kinco’s strength to breaking through key industry challenges.

Targeting the two major commercialized configurations of humanoid robots, Kinco provides core joint motion control component solutions for legged and wheeled humanoid robots.

At the conference, Li Peipei, Director of Kinco Robotics Industry, delivered a keynote speech entitled Enabling Rapid Development of Humanoid Robots: Kinco Humanoid Robot Solutions Sharing. He elaborated on Kinco’s innovative achievements in the field of humanoid robot motion control and explained in detail how Kinco helps customers rapidly build motion control solutions for humanoid robots.

Debut of the 4th-Generation Core Frameless Products,Empowering Key Control Links of Humanoid Robots

In 2016, Kinco launched its first-generation frameless torque motor, achieving a breakthrough in localization with the advantages of "performance comparable to imported products and better cost-effectiveness". At that time, core components of domestic collaborative robots relied heavily on overseas brands. By optimizing magnetic circuit design and precision manufacturing processes, Kinco made the first-generation product reach the international level in key indicators such as torque density and control accuracy, successfully breaking the monopoly of foreign capital.

After nearly a decade of forging ahead, Kinco officially released the 4th-generation FMK series frameless torque motor and its supporting RD series hollow driver in July 2025, successfully achieving a key leap from the "collaborative robot" field to the "humanoid robot" field.

This generation of products has achieved multiple technological innovations to meet the joint needs of humanoid robots.

FMK Series Frameless Torque Motor

Full-Size Coverage:

Covers a complete range of outer diameters from 25mm to 160mm, compatible with all types of joints including waist, shoulder, elbow and wrist, making it the most complete product series in the industry.

Process Upgrade:

Optimized stator welding and potting processes reduce motor weight while lowering temperature rise, effectively solving the heat dissipation pain point of legged robots during long-term operation.

Structural Innovation:

Adopts a high slot-fill ratio and large hollow design. The enlarged hollow space offers flexible layout room for mechanical engineers to arrange bearings, and combined with special design, enables a 40% reduction in the total module length.

Hollow Driver and Encoder

Featuring an innovatively developed ring-shaped hollow driver with a hollow diameter of up to 20mm, it completely resolves cable routing challenges and enables more flexible structural design.

Supports standard CANopen or EtherCAT protocols to meet multi-axis synchronous control and rapid commissioning requirements.

Built-in multiple protection mechanisms including overvoltage, undervoltage, over-temperature, short-circuit and overcurrent enhance operational safety.

Supports wide-voltage power supply for adaptation to various application scenarios.

Offers an ultra-compact inductive encoder with 19-bit single-turn resolution, satisfying feedback requirements for both high and low-speed shafts.

At present, Kinco’s FMK platform can cover the full range of frameless motors for rotary and linear joints required by full-size humanoid robots.

Omnidirectional Steering Wheel for Wheeled Humanoid RobotsAn industry-first pioneering product

Addressing the pain points of wheeled chassis for humanoid robots – large size, complex installation and high maintenance costs – Kinco’s i-Kinco omnidirectional steering wheel module has achieved multiple breakthroughs:

With a highly integrated design, it deeply combines four core components: driver, motor, reducer and wheel. Compared with traditional separate solutions, it greatly reduces installation space and lowers chassis height.It adapts to 3-steering-wheel / 4-steering-wheel chassis with a load capacity of 100–300 kg, and features a movement speed of over 2 m/s, perfectly meeting the requirements of operations in various narrow passages.

Dual Upgrades in Precision & Stability

Equipped with a multi-turn absolute encoder, it retains position data even after power loss, delivering both high steering precision and fast movement speed. This effectively eliminates collisions caused by inaccurate positioning in wheeled humanoid robotsKinco步科.

Enhanced Environmental Adaptability

The walking module boasts an IP54 protection rating, resisting dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh environments such as food processing and automotive workshopsKinco步科.

Flexible Delivery Models

The steering and walking modules are available separately, supporting customers to customize chassis solutions on demand and significantly shortening the R&D cycle.

Kinco Honored by GaoGong Humanoid Robot

Technology Pioneer & Annual Power List

During the prestigious awards ceremony at the conference, Kinco was honored with both the "GGII Humanoid Robot Technology Pioneer Award" and the "2025 GGII Embodied Intelligence Annual Power List" for its breakthrough innovations and contributions to mass production in core components of humanoid robots.

These two awards are comprehensively evaluated based on technological originality, performance breakthroughs and industrialization value, highlighting leading enterprises that provide critical support in solving the industry’s "bottleneck" challenges. These honors not only serve as authoritative recognition of Kinco’s status as a "technology pioneer" in humanoid robot products, but also affirm Kinco’s leading position among domestic robotic motion control brands.

From laboratory technologies to mass production orders, and from individual components to systematic solutions, Kinco, as a component innovator, is deeply involved in the rise of China’s humanoid robot industry.

Driven by favorable policies and market demand, Kinco’s technological breakthroughs and ecological layout have not only earned the deep trust of top customers, but also injected key momentum into domestic humanoid robots as they strive to occupy a commanding position in the global industry.
