“On that day, Tianshi Ultra crossed the finish line of the ‘100-metre sprint’ in 8.64 seconds, bringing the 1,301 thrilling contests of the Second World Humanoid Robot Games to a close. Looking back on the five-day competition, humanoid robots successfully challenged human world records in a series of athletics events, including the 100-metre and 400-metre sprints and the high jump, whilst 21 scenario-based competitions offered the public a glimpse into the intelligent future.”
Behind the scenes of this global robotics sporting spectacle, Kunwei Technology, in its capacity as the ‘sole official designated provider of force control technology services’, provided indispensable underlying technical support for the entire event.
Beijing Daily reports: Sports events provide an excellent platform for putting force control technology through its paces
In its report entitled ‘The Second World Humanoid Robot Games Come to a Close: Humanoid Robots Reach a New Starting Point’, the Beijing Daily specifically highlighted Kunwei Technology’s technical contributions to the Games: ‘Kunwei Technology provided force control technology for the event. In the view of the company’s co-founder, Yuan Minglun, the competition offered the enterprise an excellent platform for “practising its skills”, creating a testing environment free from cost concerns and geared towards achieving extreme breakthroughs.’
The report further quoted Yuan Minglun’s views: “Participating teams actively push the performance limits of robots and their core components, frequently encountering extreme operating scenarios such as operating beyond rated capacity and momentary overloads. Such scenarios far exceed standard industrial and commercial operating conditions, and the vast amount of data has enabled companies to verify their products’ limits in terms of maximum load capacity, dynamic tolerance and fault tolerance during high-frequency operations.”
Likon Technology’s ‘Training Ground’: Hard-hitting capabilities put to the test at a sports meet
According to the Beijing Daily, this year’s Games showcase three core characteristics: greater autonomy (the 100-metre sprint has been changed to a fully autonomous competition), greater dexterity (new tasks such as folding clothes and emergency fire-fighting have been added), and greater practicality (real-world competition venues). From competitive events such as the 100-metre sprint, weightlifting and archery, to scenario-based tasks including library organisation, firefighting and medicine packaging, every aspect places extreme demands on the robots’ force perception capabilities.
As Yuan Minglun remarked, the Games serve as the most authentic and rigorous ‘real-world training ground’ for the humanoid robotics industry. The high-difficulty, full-scenario and extreme competitive environment provides an excellent platform for large-scale practical testing and technological iteration across key links in the industrial chain.
As the sole officially designated force control technology service provider, Kunwei Technology utilised a dual-stack force control solution—comprising six-axis force sensors and joint torque sensors—to provide the foundational technical support for every sprint, every grasp and every precise landing performed by the 2,056 robots. In high-intensity competitive events such as tug-of-war and weightlifting, the force control technology withstood the test of extreme stability. The demands of the competition compelled Kunwei to take its aerospace-grade calibration processes to new heights, validating the reliability of its products under extreme conditions such as operating beyond rated capacity and instantaneous overloads.
Data confirms: the ‘Likon Foundation’ behind a 53 per cent market share
Behind this recognition from a national-level media outlet lies a concentrated demonstration of the robust capabilities that Kunwei Technology has built up over many years.
MIR 루이 산업의 2026 China Six-Axis Force Sensor Industry White Paper, in 2025 Kunwei Technology topped the Chinese six-axis force sensor market with a 53 per cent market share in the field of intelligent robotics, establishing itself as the undisputed leader in the domestic six-axis force sensor sector. In the collaborative robot segment, Kunwei holds a market share exceeding 70 per cent.
In terms of customer coverage, Kunwei’s products have entered the supply chains of all leading domestic humanoid robot manufacturers, with clients including UBTech, Zhiyuan Robotics, Galaxy General, Beijing Humanoid, Xinghaitu and Xiaomi.
In terms of production capacity, as of the end of June 2026, the company’s annual production capacity for six-axis force sensors had reached 60,000 units, with an annual target of 120,000 units; next-day delivery is available in the East China region. Compared to the three- to six-month delivery cycles of overseas brands, Kunwei’s rapid delivery capability has established a significant competitive advantage.
National Standards Developers: Defining the Industry’s ‘Force Perception Scale’
As the lead drafting organisation, Kunwei Technology took the lead in drafting the national standard GB/T 43199-2023, ‘Testing Specifications for Multi-Axis Force/Torque Sensors for Robots’. This standard came into force on 1 April 2024 and falls under the remit of the National Technical Committee on Robotics Standardisation (SAC/TC 591).
This standard fills a gap in the domestic testing standards for multi-axis force sensors used in robotics. Prior to its publication, there were even instances in the market where testing methods designed for one-axis force sensors were being used to test six-axis force sensors, making it impossible to objectively evaluate core technical indicators. Drawing on over 20 years of technical expertise, Kunwei has driven the standardisation of industry testing, establishing a unified national standard for the ‘force sensing benchmark’.
Product Portfolio: Force Control Solutions Covering All Scenarios
Kunwei Technology has established a comprehensive product portfolio covering diverse applications such as humanoid robots, industrial automation and scientific research and testing:
- HRS Humanoid Series: Specifically designed for the wrists and ankles of humanoid robots, with a minimum thickness of 10 mm and a 300% FS overload capacity; already supplied in bulk to leading companies such as UBTech, Zhiyuan, Galaxy General and Beijing Humanoid
- HPS Ultra-High-Performance Series: Featuring a proprietary titanium alloy elastomer and a sampling rate of up to 30 kHz, this series is designed for extreme operating conditions such as those encountered in aerospace and university research
- KWR Precision Series: Designed for industrial automation, precision assembly, medical surgical robots and scientific research and testing
- CSR Economy Series: Offers excellent value for money to meet the force control implementation needs of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises
- 이전 박람회와 비교해 이번에는 더욱 중점을 두고 전시 및 교류를 진행합니다: Developed specifically for integrated robotic joints; over a hundred customised solutions have been delivered, with mass production scheduled to commence in 2026
From the ‘Ice Ribbon’ to a wide range of industries, Kunwei continues to support robotic motion sensing
As the Beijing Daily has noted, “The technological evolution of humanoid robots is a systematic endeavour driven by multiple factors, including hardware materials, vast amounts of data, algorithmic models and computing power.” The high-precision, high-accuracy force control technology provided by Kunwei Technology serves as an indispensable ‘perceptual cornerstone’ within this systematic endeavour.
From the competition arena to the factory floor, from the laboratory to everyday life, Kunwei Technology will continue to safeguard every precise deployment of humanoid robots with aerospace-grade precision and large-scale delivery capabilities.
