South Korean manufacturer Samkee announced on June 24 that it has been selected by a global robotics company as a development partner for a humanoid robot frame project.
{alcircleadd}The project focuses on developing the upper-body skeletal structure frame of a humanoid robot. Samkee will be responsible for prototype development and delivery of the initial production batch. Following specification evaluations, the company expects additional large-scale orders.
Samkee is carrying out the development work using its existing manufacturing facilities. The project includes mould production, casting analysis, post-processing reviews and evaluations of mass-production feasibility.
The company noted that lightweight construction and durability are critical requirements for humanoid robots. As a result, aluminium die casting technology is becoming increasingly important because it allows manufacturers to produce lightweight, high-precision structural components while maintaining strength.
