SUPCON Technology Co. has recently opened the Zhejiang Humanoid Robot Innovation Center. Likewise, the company has presented the humanoid robot Navigator α , its first specimen completely developed in-house.
SUPCON has always specialized in providing control and safety systems, optimization and monitoring software, as well as advanced measurement technology. Located in Hangzhou, China, the company was listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in April 2023, raising $565 million , according to data from Crunchbase.
The Navigator α humanoid robot
Recently, the company has launched a new humanoid robot model on the market, the Navigator α, thus highlighting its participation in the competitive humanoid robotics market, a field increasingly populated by proposals from various companies at a global and regional level.
The Navigator α, which reaches a height of 1.5 meters and a weight of 50 kg , is equipped with lightweight mechanical arms and a dexterous hand that features 15 finger joints and six active degrees of freedom. This model offers a fingertip force of 10 N, a light hand weight of 600 grams and an articulation speed of 150 degrees per second.
It is worth noting that the company plans to incorporate advanced artificial intelligence models to create more intuitive and effective interfaces between humans and machines and has already begun to implement Navigator α in various field projects.
Regarding the future of humanoid robots , SUPCON maintains that their application in specific contexts and industries will be crucial. The company has set itself the immediate objective of reducing the gap between technological research and the needs of the industrial market, in order to continue advancing in this sector.
