Huapei Power (603121.SH), a leading traditional automotive parts company, is actively deploying robot-related businesses through its advantages in the field of automotive sensors to create a new performance growth curve. It is understood that the company is closely following cutting-edge technologies in related fields such as position sensors, six-dimensional torque sensors, encoders, etc. related to humanoid robots. On the one hand, it seeks breakthroughs in related technologies in the field of self-developed robots, and on the other hand, it also pays close attention to potential acquisition opportunities.
Huapei Power is using its existing automotive-grade MEMS pressure sensor chips and silicon strain gauges to independently design and package and test, seeking R&D breakthroughs from glass micro-melting MSG high-pressure pressure sensors to six-dimensional torque sensors. The company's R&D progress is smooth and relevant technology accumulation has been completed. Recently, the company is cooperating with its shareholding company Xi'an Zhongke Alpha Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. to develop magnetic speed and direction sensor chips, linear sensor chips, and magnetic encoder chips, mainly for the robotics field. At present, products such as magnetic encoder chips have reached the sample delivery standard, and the company is actively preparing to send samples to leading companies related to the robotics industry.
In addition, Huapei Power once said in an institutional survey that in addition to seeking breakthroughs in the sensor field through self-research, it does not rule out the possibility of integrating and splitting the existing sensor division, setting up an independent robot division and robot subsidiary, and realizing industrial layout through external mergers and acquisitions. It is reported that the company is negotiating with one of the large state-owned capital investment platforms in Shanghai to invest in the Shanghai Embodied Intelligent Robot Fund. It is reported that Huapei Power's robot business layout will focus on the following directions:
First, in the field of industrial robots, we develop high-precision and high-stability industrial robots for industries such as automobile manufacturing to meet the complex operation requirements on the production line;
The second is the field of humanoid robots, focusing on the research and development of basic perception modules suitable for humanoid robots, including integrated sensor components and torque measurement units. We work closely with the robot R&D team, participate in the overall design of humanoid robots, integrate Huapei Power's technology into the robot's control system, and achieve optimization and upgrading of the robot's motion control.
The third is to increase investment in research and development, continuously optimize the application of encoders, sensors and six-dimensional torque technology in robots, and improve the intelligence level of robots.
Fourth, actively establish cooperative relations with well-known humanoid robot companies and scientific research institutions at home and abroad. On the one hand, through technology sharing and cooperative research and development, accelerate the application of Huapei Power technology in the field of humanoid robots; on the other hand, participate in the formulation of industry standards and promote the standardized development of the humanoid robot industry.
