Meet World's First Humanoid Robot, Breakthrough Achievement Of China's INNFOS

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 (Bernama) -- The world’s first humanoid service robot stamped its mark and mesmerised attendees at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain recently. Demonstrating the manner of greeting, coffee serving, dancing, Q&A and even needle threading, the intelligent service robot which goes by the name, XR-1, is powered by Smart Compliant Actuator (SCA), which was independently developed by INNFOS Drive (Beijing) Technologies Co Ltd. SCA integrates the underlying servo driver, high-precision encoder, high-power brushless motor and light-weight gear reducer. All XR-1 joints are assembled with INNFOS SCA. This is a significant step towards building a service robot capable of intimate human interactions. To achieve safe and intelligent human-machine interactions, service robots must include compliant controls and be resistant to impacts while retaining the functionalities of a high-precision robot. In these aspects, INNFOS has fulfilled all requirements, making SCA a cutting-edge actuator. SCA can be widely used in machinery manufacturing and processing, aerospace, precision instruments, health care and other fields. The four-day annual MWC began on Feb 25. -- BERNAMA
