In the past CCTV Lantern Festival Gala, Sabin put on a flower waistcoat, walking mechanical department, and even imitated the robot voice to send blessings ‘wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival’, instantly fire all over the network. From the Spring Festival Gala onwards, the robot has been constantly hot, and once again triggered heated discussions.

In recent years, the rapid development of humanoid robots has become a new high ground for scientific and technological competition and a new engine for economic development. Automotive companies have set their sights on the field of ‘humanoid robots’, competing for the layout of the robot track - Xiaopeng Automobile released the self-developed AI humanoid robot Iron, GAC Group released the third generation of intelligent humanoid robot GoMate, Xiaomi CyberOne humanoid robot has entered a phased landing stage in the manufacturing line, Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot is scheduled for small-scale production in 2025.

Car companies cross-border layout of humanoid robots, not a whim, but has a deep technical and industrial roots. Automotive manufacturing integration of mechanical engineering, electronic control, power systems and artificial intelligence and other diversified technologies, and these technologies and humanoid robotics R & D there are many common points, such as automotive companies in the field of automated driving algorithmic capabilities accumulated can be well migrated to the humanoid robot development. The technology accumulation and R&D team of automobile enterprises can effectively reduce the technical threshold and R&D cost when they are involved in the field of humanoid robots.

Car enterprises accelerate into the robot track, auto parts enterprises also follow the pace.

At the beginning of the Year of the Snake, Ningbo auto parts giant - Junsheng Electronics, focusing on the deployment of the work mentioned with the body of the intelligent robotics industry related forward-looking technology and market strategy layout, clear the enterprise ‘automotive + robotics Tier1’ new positioning.

On 11th February, auto parts listed company - Zhongding shares released an announcement, and robotics leading stock Wuzhou Xinchun reached a strategic cooperation agreement, the two sides will be around the humanoid robot parts assembly product field to start cooperation.

On 12 February, Fulin Precision, a leading enterprise in the field of domestic automotive precision parts and components, announced that it would invest 110 million yuan in the construction of robot intelligent electric joint module R&D and production base project in Fucheng District, Mianyang City.

China's auto parts industry chain is huge and perfect, covering all aspects from raw material procurement to parts production and then to vehicle assembly. And this supply chain network, there are many parts suppliers and humanoid robot manufacturing suppliers required for a high degree of overlap, such as sensors, motors, control systems and other key components, both for automotive manufacturing, but also an indispensable part of the humanoid robot. This makes auto parts companies in the cross-border humanoid robot, you can directly use the existing hardware and software resources and technology, greatly shortening the R & D cycle and production cycle, reducing procurement costs and supply chain risks.

Some institutions predict that in 2026 China's ‘humanoid robot’ industry scale is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan. By 2035, this figure may grow to 300 billion yuan, such a huge market size, will undoubtedly bring huge demand for auto parts industry pull.

In the development of the humanoid robot industry, the model of fighting alone has been difficult to adapt to the complex and changing market environment, car companies, parts suppliers and robotics research and development enterprises will be closer cooperation. In the traditional automotive industry, car companies and parts suppliers have formed a stable partnership. When car companies layout humanoid robots, this partnership will be extended to the field of robotics. Parts suppliers can provide customised parts solutions for robotics research and development by virtue of their understanding of the needs of car companies and quick response. At the same time, the cooperation between car companies and robotics research and development enterprises will also promote the exchange and integration of technology between the two sides, and jointly promote the development of humanoid robots and auto parts industry.

In 2024, Huada Technology, a well-known listed company in auto parts, and EFT reached a strategic partnership on further promoting the scale application of industrial/humanoid robots in the auto parts industry. By Huada Technology to provide auto parts industry application scenarios and industrial, humanoid robot components R & D and production, lightweight material product development, EFT to provide robotics products and technical support, the two sides work together to build the automotive industry's industrial, humanoid robot demonstration cases.

As an international exhibition brand of auto parts and aftermarket, CAPAFAIR is committed to building a professional trade and communication platform for global auto parts manufacturers and buyers.

At CAPAFAIR 2025, which will be held on 21-23 April 2025 at Hangzhou Convention and Exhibition Centre, automotive enterprises, parts suppliers and research institutions from all over the world will gather together to display cutting-edge technologies and innovative achievements, carry out in-depth exchanges and cooperation, promote industrial upgrading and innovative development, and jointly explore the unlimited possibilities of industry development.
