en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 7th, Schaeffler, a global leader in drive technology, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Rokae, a Chinese intelligent robotics company. The two parties announced they will engage in deep collaboration around core components such as humanoid robot joint modules. This initiative aims to build a new ecosystem for the embodied intelligence industry through upstream and downstream synergy in the industrial chain, jointly accelerating the commercialization and scaling process of humanoid robots.

Schaeffler and Rokae will integrate their respective technological expertise to jointly develop industry-leading integrated joint modules. Rokae will contribute its experience in whole-machine R&D, manufacturing, and implementation in industrial scenarios, while Schaeffler will leverage its newly established Embodied Intelligent Robotics (Taicang) Co., Ltd. to provide high-performance sensors, harmonic reducers, roller screws, and other core precision mechanical components. This powerful partnership model not only achieves complementary technical advantages but also forms a complete closed loop from R&D to supply and ultimately to scenario implementation.

Dr. Zhang Yilin, CEO of Schaeffler Greater China, stated that humanoid robots are a key emerging growth area for the company. This cooperation will help integrate China's local innovation resources to seize market opportunities with technological and cost advantages. Through deep collaboration with Rokae, both parties will focus on solving the power and control challenges faced by humanoid robots in complex environments. As embodied intelligence technology matures, this deep integration model of "robotics + AI" will gradually penetrate into smart manufacturing and more high-end application fields, injecting new momentum into enhancing the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing industry.
