Award News | 2026 High-Tech Humanoid Robot Industry Empowerment Award - Motion and Actuation System · Reducer

From May 18 to 19, 2026, the "When Embodied Intelligence Begins to Enter Reality" 2026 (3rd) High Tech Humanoid Robot Technology Application Summit was held in Shanghai. During the concurrent award ceremony, TC Drive stood out among outstanding enterprises and won the "2026 Humanoid Robot Industry Empowerment Award" for its technological breakthroughs and industry contributions in precision reducers.

 This award, evaluating based on technological innovation, commercial value, and industrial collaboration, recognizes companies driving humanoid robots from "ability to move" to "ability to perform".

 2026 is seen as a critical window period for the "mass production year" and commercialization of humanoid robots, with core component performance breakthroughs and self-reliance being vital for industrial development.  

TC Drive's winning rationale directly addresses industry pain points: its self-developed harmonic reducer adopts 3D curved surface conjugate double arc tooth profile patented technology, achieving transmission precision error<40 arcseconds, backlash <10 arcseconds, and precision maintenance duration exceeding 10,000 hours, with overall performance reaching international leading levels. The company's forward-looking HarmoCore series lightweight harmonic joints integrate high-precision torque sensors, eliminating rigid loss and sensitivity reduction from traditional external solutions. This provides robots with millisecond-level delay and high signal-to-noise ratio torque feedback, effectively solving challenges in joint force perception and flexible control for humanoid robots, enabling reliable operations in complex scenarios like precision assembly and medical assistance.  

The award serves as strong recognition of TC Drive's outstanding contributions in building core transmission ecosystems for humanoid robots and promoting domestic substitution of precision reducers.  

Twelve years of dedicated R&D have solidified TC Drive's expertise in precision transmission.

 Founded in 2012, Shenzhen TC Drive Co., Ltd. is a National High-tech Enterprise and a "Little Giant" under the National Specialized, Refined, Unique, and New Enterprise Program. With annual production capacity exceeding 300,000 units of reducers and actuators, certified by ISO9001 quality management system, the company's R&D team spans material processing, precision structural design, simulation analysis, lubrication friction, motion control, motors, and drives, holding over 50 invention and utility model patents.

 Its harmonic reducers and HarmoCore joints, characterized by high precision, long lifespan, low noise, and high consistency, are widely used in industrial robots, collaborative robots, humanoid robots, aerospace, and new energy sectors, supplying core transmission components to leading domestic and international robot manufacturers.

Looking ahead, TC Drive will continue enhancing the reliability, lightweighting, modularity, and multi-sensor integration of precision transmission components, solidifying its core competitiveness to contribute to nationalization of robot core components and high-quality development of the humanoid robot industry.
