Importance Within the Humanoid Industry on the Rise

Hana Securities on the 11th forecasted that Haizen R&M will show external growth in the expanding humanoid (human-shaped robot) market through actuator development. An actuator is a driving device that moves or controls a robot, playing a role similar to human muscles.

Researcher Wi Kyung-jae of Hana Securities stated, “As robot movements become more irregular and complex in the future, the number of drive shafts will increase, and robots that quickly respond to given environments will be needed,” adding, “Accordingly, the importance of actuators is expected to gradually expand.” He also predicted, “As the humanoid industry develops, actuator company Haizen R&M will play an important role.”

In particular, he anticipated that Haizen R&M’s presence will grow stronger with the rise of 'Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI).' Physical AI is regarded as a core technology for realizing humanoid robots. Researcher Wi said, “Just as most developers of ‘F1 machines,’ which are the culmination of advanced automotive technology, receive brakes from external suppliers, it is highly likely that actuators, the driving devices, will be sourced externally during the development process in the humanoid industry as well,” adding, “Haizen R&M’s importance within the domestic humanoid industry will increase.”

He continued, “In the future, robots must minimize movement to prepare for collisions and respond immediately to changes in the external environment. Hardware development is essential, separate from software,” and said, “Actuator development will naturally accompany this, and the role of Haizen R&M, which is currently leading actuator development, is highly anticipated.”

No separate investment opinion was provided regarding Haizen R&M. The company’s closing price the previous day was 30,700 won.
