Key System Components Powering the Global Intelligent Transformation

Driven by the advancement of physical AI enabling real-world interaction、labor shortages accelerating automation、and supportive policy tailwinds, the robotics industry—including humanoid robots, industrial robots, and collaborative robots—is entering a critical phase of commercial breakthrough. The global robotics market is poised for a period of rapid growth.

Core robotics technologies encompass optics, sensors, AI computing, motion control, precision transmission, and servo systems. Global Tek Group has established comprehensive engineering developments and manufacturing capabilities in critical components for both rotary and linear actuator systems. The Group is well positioned to benefit from technological breakthroughs and the accelerated mass production of key customers.

Rotary Joint Components

Actuators are a key determinant of robotics hardware costs, responsible for driving the movements of humanoid robots’ arms and legs. Typically installed at robotic joints, actuator systems consist of motors, reducers, encoders, and control units.

Based on motion types, actuators are classified into rotary actuators and linear actuators. Rotary actuators are primarily located in high-range-of-motion joints such as the shoulders and hips, where large-angle rotation is required. They represent the highest demand and bear the greatest torque loads in humanoid robots, including joints such as shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

In contrast, linear actuators are typically used in single-degree-of-freedom joints with smaller motion ranges. Rather than enabling large rotational movement, linear actuators provide precise linear push-pull motion, making them particularly suitable for applications requiring high dexterity, such as fingers and palms.
