Humanoid Robot

Hollow Shaft Frameless Motor
with a large bore-to-outer-diameter ratio for easier integration

Humanoid robots use artificial intelligence to think and act like humans. With a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, they resemble the human body and are rapidly emerging as a next generation of robots.
They are expected to take over tasks currently performed by people and conventional robots, intensifying competition among countries and companies for leadership in the field.
South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy projected that the humanoid robotics market would grow from USD 1.5 billion in 2025 to USD 38 billion by 2035. In May 2025, the South Korean government designated actuator and frame technologies for humanoid robots as national advanced strategic technologies. The designation covers design, manufacturing, and production processes for robots capable of moving at 3.3 m/s or faster and carrying loads of 20 kg or more through whole-body manipulation.
The K-Humanoid Alliance was formed with around 40 participants from government, academia, and the robotics industry. KOMOTEK is responsible for the motor segment.
Drawing on our motor design and manufacturing expertise, we plan to continue developing and commercializing hollow-shaft motor solutions tailored to humanoid robots.

The ministry announced plans to support technology development through funding for robotics research and development (R&D), infrastructure, and demonstration projects. It planned to prioritize joint development projects involving two or more alliance members.
The ministry also announced plans to work with relevant government agencies and the National Assembly to increase the budget from KRW 200 billion and to launch a humanoid robotics fund by the end of 2025.
