COMPUTEX 2026: TUF ONE Debuts Joint Modules for Humanoid Robots

On June 2, 2026, Yulong Precision (2233-TW) made its debut at COMPUTEX 2026 in Taipei, unveiling two strategic products under its TUF ONE brand: a micro harmonic drive and an integrated electromechanical joint module. The micro harmonic drive breaks traditional size constraints for use in robot dexterous hand joints, while the joint module tightly integrates the reducer with a high-power-density motor for shoulder and wrist joints — covering the full power transmission chain from end-effectors to the main body. The concept humanoid robot TUF-X, equipped entirely with Yulong's in-house reducers across neck, shoulders, arms and fingers, was also showcased at the event.

With AI computing and intelligent automation entering an explosive growth phase, the humanoid robot joint module market is accelerating rapidly. Industry estimates suggest a typical humanoid robot requires 28-40 rotary joints, each demanding an independent drive module, with the global market projected to exceed RMB 100 billion by 2028. Yulong's shift from precision parts to system-level module supply signals that Taiwan's precision machining industry is actively integrating into the humanoid robot core supply chain, creating a differentiated competitive landscape alongside mainland players such as Inovance and Welling.

Repunite has long focused on high-precision servo motors and joint modules, with proprietary core technologies in frameless torque motor design, servo drive algorithms, and mechatronic integration. As the humanoid robot industry demands ever-higher torque density, dynamic response, and reliability from joint modules, Repunite continues to refine its electromagnetic design and drive control strategies. Its integrated joint module solutions are compatible with both harmonic and planetary drive paths, offering downstream robot manufacturers complete solutions from joint actuators to full-body motion control.
