The 2025 World Intelligent Manufacturing Expo officially opened today at the Nanjing International Expo Center. This world-class event, themed around building a modern industrial system and advancing intelligent, green, and integrated development, brought together nearly 500 enterprises from 21 countries and regions. It served as a global platform for product showcase, technical dialogue, and industry–education collaboration.
As a recognized leader in the field of six-axis force/torque sensing and a key national standard setter, Kunwei Technology (Booth 4A17) was invited to participate and made a strong appearance in Hall 4, the dedicated robotics exhibition zone. The company showcased its flagship six-axis force sensors and joint torque sensors, attracting significant attention thanks to its aerospace-grade heritage and uncompromising pursuit of industrial-level precision and reliability.
Aerospace DNA and National Standard Leadership
Kunwei’s reputation for trustworthiness and technical excellence originates from its core strength: aerospace-grade engineering. The founding team comes from top national aerospace research institutes and holds more than 24 years of experience in multi-dimensional force sensing technologies originally used in aerodynamic measurements for spacecraft.
This deep technical heritage ensures that Kunwei products maintain exceptional stability, precision, and reliability—even under extreme working environments.
Kunwei is also the principal drafter of the national recommended standard GB/T 43199-2023 – “Testing Specifications for Multi-Dimensional Force/Torque Sensors for Robots.”
This achievement officially positions Kunwei as a benchmark setter in the industry, and it reflects the company’s commitment to exceeding national standards in both R&D and manufacturing.
On the technology front, Kunwei currently holds the only domestic solution combining structural decoupling and algorithmic decoupling, enhanced by a proprietary six-dimensional forced-learning calibration method that replicates real-world loading conditions. By adjusting thousands of network parameters, Kunwei achieves:
• 0.1%FS repeatability
• 0.3%FS accuracy (including cross-interference)
Such performance remains unmatched in the domestic market and forms a deep technological moat difficult for competitors to replicate.
Hardcore Products Built for the Humanoid Robotics Era
The 2025 Government Work Report elevated “embodied intelligence” to national strategic priority status. Humanoid robots, as core carriers of embodied intelligence, have entered an explosive growth phase.
Kunwei is now a core component supplier in this emerging industry.
During the expo, the company presented its next-generation HRS Series six-axis force sensors, specifically designed for humanoid robot joints.
• The HRS30-60 meets extreme miniaturization requirements for wrist modules.
• The HRS60-96 supports installation in ankle and foot modules where tight space, high rigidity, and high overload tolerance are crucial to prevent failures such as ankle collapse during running or jumping.
The highlight of the exhibition was the newly launched HRS65-ET ankle six-axis force sensor, featuring a remarkable 10 mm ultra-thin design alongside high overload capability and rigid construction. Most HRS models also integrate intelligent data acquisition circuits and are easily customizable for cost-driven or application-specific scenarios. Kunwei maintains short lead times due to its robust manufacturing capacity.
Trusted by Top Investors: Technology Moat Drives Capital Recognition
Even as global capital markets shift toward rationality, Kunwei continues to attract investments from leading institutions, including Hillhouse, Shenzhen Capital Group, Xiaomi Industry Investment, and Inovance.
The reason is simple: Kunwei has built a clearly defensible technological moat and a commercial path fully aligned with the future of robotics.
Kunwei has completed several rounds of financing, achieving steadily rising valuations. Investors recognize that the industry is on the eve of large-scale humanoid robot deployment, and multi-dimensional force sensing is one of the critical enablers of embodied intelligence.
To prepare for market expansion, Kunwei has already scaled its production capacity to 30,000 units per year and expects to reach 60,000 units per year by early 2026. With unmatched precision technology and mass-production capabilities, Kunwei has become a strong candidate for future unicorn status.
Strategic Positioning: A Key Supplier in the Humanoid Robotics Supply Chain
As humanoid robot adoption accelerates, demand for ultra-high-precision, lightweight, and integrated multi-axis sensors continues to climb.
Kunwei has been deeply engaged in the robotics industry for six years and has become a primary supplier for top humanoid robot companies. The company already provides batch delivery to:
• Xiaomi
• UBTECH
• Beijing Humanoid
• Zhiyuan
• General Galactic
• Singularity Dynamics
• Fourier Intelligence
To meet increasing performance requirements, Kunwei established an advanced metals laboratory capable of thermal treatment, cold processing, and material testing. This ensures exceptional elastic body performance, long-term stability, and industry-leading fatigue resistance.
Global Ambition: Scaling Production and Expanding International Influence
To break through calibration and testing bottlenecks in sensor mass-production, Kunwei independently developed multiple fully automated six-axis joint-loading calibration systems. These proprietary facilities doubled the company’s annual calibration capacity from 30,000 to 60,000 units, enabling rapid delivery for global customers.
Looking ahead, Kunwei aims to evolve from “China’s alternative to imports” into a global leader in multi-axis force sensing. The company will continue to strengthen its technological leadership, deepen international partnerships, and contribute to building a new global ecosystem for embodied intelligence.
Kunwei is committed to enabling robots to truly perceive and interact with the physical world with sensitivity, safety, and intelligence.
