Overview

Summary
As the global market expands its investment in AI computing and the development of related applications, humanoid robots are expected to become the largest AI application by market size. The introduction of torque and inertia sensing technology by manufacturers is critical for humanoid robots to walk flexibly and mimic human behavior in various scenarios. These two sensor systems need to work perfectly in sync, driving robots from simple programmed actions towards more natural human behavior. Humanoid robots need to operate in complex and variable environments and possess reaction speeds similar to humans. Their sensing systems must accurately perceive and respond to their surroundings. Currently, several robot manufacturers are specializing in improving their walking performance.
