Humanoid robots, are robots designed to mimic the appearance, behavior, and even thought patterns of humans. According to some studies and forecasts, the demand for high-performance NdFeB is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years with the development of humanoid robots, especially humanoid robotics projects launched by leading companies like Tesla (e.g. Optimus).
As a high-performance rare-earth permanent magnet material, NdFeB magnets are widely used in the drive system, servo motors, sensors and other key components of robots. With the continuous progress of humanoid robot technology, especially in the fields of precision motion control and autonomous navigation, the high magnetic properties and small size characteristics of NdFeB magnets make their application in this field particularly important.

Driving factors for the growing demand for NdFeB in humanoid robots:
With the advancement of technology, the design of humanoid robots tends to be more and more lightweight, miniaturized and high-performance. High-performance NdFeB magnets have become the ideal choice for humanoid robot motors due to their small size, light weight and strong magnetic properties. Especially servo motors, which are superior to traditional stepper motors in terms of control accuracy, overload capacity, speed response, etc., are very suitable for the joint drive of humanoid robots.
In robots that need to perform environmental sensing and navigation, NdFeB magnets are used in magnetic encoders and sensors to help robots accomplish precise positioning and movement control.
Some predictions point out that if the future global sales of humanoid robots reach 1 million units or more, then the humanoid robot market will respectively bring 3,400 tons to 34,000 tons of incremental demand for the high-performance NdFeB market, showing great market potential.
In short, the development of humanoid robots not only brings new growth points for the robotics industry itself, but also promotes the development of related materials industries, including high-performance NdFeB.
