Stabilus SE and Synapticon Form Strategic Partnership for Humanoid Robots

Stabilus SE and Synapticon GmbH have announced a strategic partnership aimed at producing integrated actuators for humanoid robots. This collaboration plans to initiate small-scale production in Europe by 2027, with large-scale production in North America expected by 2028. The actuators will be marketed under both brands, targeting the rapidly growing humanoid robot market projected to reach approximately US$38 billion by 2035.

Stabilus will employ its expertise in automotive industrialization and manufacturing, while Synapticon will contribute its robotics and motion-control knowledge and certified functional safety technologies. The partners aim to combine advanced technology with proven industrial practices to meet the anticipated demand of more than 250,000 humanoid robots annually by 2030.

This collaboration leverages Stabilus' capabilities in manufacturing and Synapticon's innovative actuator technology, setting a foundation for robust and cost-effective robotic solutions. The integration of AI-based safety features is expected to set new benchmarks in humanoid robotics, enhancing the practicality of their use in industrial environments.
