Schaeffler Group and Leju Robotics recently signed a cooperation agreement, committing to jointly explore the industrialization development of humanoid robots. Dr. Zhang Yilin, CEO of Schaeffler Greater China, and Ke Zhendong, Executive Vice President of Leju Robotics, among others, attended the signing ceremony and exchanged ideas.
Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler Group, stated: "Beyond our traditional core business, Schaeffler is actively expanding into new strategic fields, including humanoid robots. By establishing a strategic partnership with Leju Robotics, we have gained another strong and innovative partner in the humanoid robot market, which holds significant growth potential."
Chang Lin, CEO of Leju Robotics, pointed out: "Humanoid robots integrate cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, and new materials. They represent a new focal point for global technological innovation and industrial upgrading, with broad market prospects. Leju is honored to collaborate with an outstanding company like Schaeffler, which possesses profound industrial expertise, to jointly accelerate the industrialization process of humanoid robots."
Dr. Zhang Yilin mentioned: "Humanoid robots are one of Schaeffler's strategic business areas, with enormous market potential in China. We aim to actively engage with the local industrial ecosystem in China through open and win-win cooperation. By joining hands with excellent partners like Leju Robotics, we can collectively contribute to the development of the humanoid robot industry."
Ke Zhendong stated: "Schaeffler has deep expertise in high-end equipment manufacturing and industrial automation, while Leju holds a leading advantage in the R&D and industrialization of humanoid robots. This cooperation will integrate our respective strengths. Through collaborative innovation across the industry chain, we will practically promote the large-scale application of humanoid robots in the industrial sector."
Founded in 1946, Schaeffler Group is a technology company focused on drive technologies, encompassing three major product brands: LuK, INA, and FAG. The Group provides high-precision components and systems for entire automotive drive systems and chassis applications, as well as rolling bearing and plain bearing solutions widely used in industrial fields. With over 250 locations in 55 countries and regions worldwide, the Group is one of the top ten global automotive suppliers.
Moving forward, both parties will focus on typical scenarios such as small parts feeding, factory inspection, and production line logistics coordination to create demonstration projects that deeply integrate humanoid robots with high-end manufacturing. Simultaneously, they will collaborate in areas including industrial scenario data collection, model training and iteration, core component supply chains, and next-generation technology R&D. This aims to advance the large-scale deployment of humanoid robots and contribute to building an open, win-win, and collaboratively innovative global humanoid robot industry ecosystem.
