Improve humanoid robot design with self-lubricating plastic components

The humanoid robot industry is poised to be the fastest growing industry in the world over the next decade. Integrators, manufacturers, and developers are all working on making the technology feasible for widespread commercial use. One easy way to achieve this and make humanoid robots more accessible and affordable is by implementing self-lubricating plastic components like those from igus®.

Our components utilize embedded solid lubricants to eliminate grease and maintain optimal performance even in dirty, dusty, and humid environments. The most relevant components we offer for the humanoid robot industry include plain and linear bearingsslewing ringsspherical bearings and rod endsgears and gearboxes, and multi-axis cable carriers.

What is a humanoid robot?

  • Robot designed to resemble the human body
  • Acts in a manner similar to humans
  • Greater freedom of movement than traditional robots
  • Interacts with their environment more organically
