How can high-performance drive systems for humanoid robots be designed to be flexible, cost-effective, and scalable? This question will be at the heart of the “Accelerating Robotics – The Drive behind Human Robots” technology forum, taking place October 28–29, 2026, at Fraunhofer IWU in Chemnitz, Germany. The event will focus on the requirements for the next generation of integrated drive systems and the path from prototype to customizable high-volume production.

Beyond Standard Solutions

The role that application-specific gear solutions can play in this process will be highlighted by Wolfgang Sühling, Head of Advanced Development, and Janina Weil, Business Development at Framo Morat, during the “Best Practice from Industry” session on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m. In their presentation, “Beyond Standard Solutions: Application-Specific Gear Solutions for Robotics,” they will use real-world examples to provide insights into the strengths of different gear concepts.

The requirements for robotic gear solutions vary significantly depending on the application. At the same time, as production volumes increase, cost-effective manufacturing and scalability are becoming just as important as technical performance. Universal, off-the-shelf solutions are increasingly reaching their limits. What is needed are application-specific, highly integrated gear solutions that combine technical performance with cost-effective series production.

The Right Drive Solution for Every Robot Joint

From shoulders, elbows, and wrists to fingers and grippers, every axis of motion in a robot places different demands on installation space, gear ratio, efficiency, and dynamics. Framo Morat offers a broad range of gear solutions in these areas. The portfolio extends from individual gearing components and gearboxes to integrated drive solutions for humanoid robots, industrial robots, and cobots. Depending on the application, solutions include spur and worm gears, planetary and cycloidal gearboxes, as well as the high-ratio speeroX gear set developed by Framo Morat.

Visitors can also explore this broad range of solutions in the technology forum’s marketplace. Framo Morat will showcase selected exhibits highlighting current developments and solutions for specific robot drive requirements. Visit us in Chemnitz and talk to our experts about drive solutions that go beyond standard solutions.
