Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of the humanoid robot industry has led to significant advancements in the "electronic skin" sector, with Wuhan Huawai Technology Co., Ltd. transitioning from a follower to a leader in this field [1][6]. Group 1: Development Journey - The company initially faced significant challenges, including a lack of materials, equipment, and standards, which led to a substantial investment of 200 million yuan over two years to develop a sensitive and durable electronic skin [2][5]. - The first generation of the electronic skin could only detect weights of 10 grams, while the latest version can sense weights as low as 1 gram and withstand 1 million pressing tests [2][5]. Group 2: Production and Innovation - The company has successfully transitioned from prototype to mass production, with orders increasing from 200 units per year to 200 units per month, utilizing advanced printing technology for production [5][6]. - The company has developed its own continuous printing technology for electronic skin, becoming a global leader in this production method, and has established over 100 intellectual property rights [6][8]. Group 3: Cross-Industry Applications - The electronic skin is not only used in humanoid robots but has also been applied in wind turbine blades to detect ice thickness, addressing operational challenges in the wind energy sector [7][8]. - The company is actively seeking to apply its technology in various industries, including automotive and medical fields, to create a positive feedback loop for research and development funding [8].
