How PEEK Becomes the Strategic Material Foundation for Mass-Produced Humanoid Robots?
Macro Background: Humanoid Robots Enter the “Lightweight Era” As humanoid robots enter their first year of mass production, the industry is facing unprecedented technological challenges and opportunities. Among them, the most prominent issue is the contradiction between battery endurance and effective payload. Traditional humanoid robot designs rely heavily on metallic materials such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel. Although these metals offer high strength, their relatively high density leads to increased energy consumption, limiting continuous operation time and mobility. To achieve longer operating time and higher payload efficiency, lightweight design has become a core requirement. This is not merely a matter of structural optimization, but a revolutionary shift in materials […]
