Suzhou Zhixing TendonBot Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. (TendonBot) is an innovative technology company dedicated to redefining the fundamental principles of bionic actuation. Centred on groundbreaking advances in materials science, the company is proactively developing the next generation of revolutionary artificial tendon technology. Addressing the industry pain points associated with traditional direct-drive robotic motor solutions—which are bulky, heavy, costly and severely limit flexibility—TendonBot has launched a groundbreaking bionic artificial tendon. This technology perfectly mimics human muscle movement, comprehensively surpassing traditional solutions in terms of precision, service life, strength and self-locking capabilities, whilst setting a new industry benchmark with its three core advantages: “extreme simplicity, extreme miniaturisation and extreme flexibility”: · Minimalist structure, ultimate reliability: Adhering to the engineering philosophy that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, it completely replaces the traditional ‘hollow-cup motor and gearbox’ combination. By completely eliminating redundant mechanical components, it not only significantly extends the system’s operational lifespan but also endows the product with unrivalled cost-effectiveness and advantages for industrial-scale mass production. · Ultra-compact size, boundless integration: Powerfully breaking through the physical limits of space, the product is extremely miniature whilst possessing exceptional flexibility. It can be effortlessly embedded within the pad of a dexterous finger to perform millimetre-level precision operations; it can also be seamlessly embedded beneath highly realistic silicone skin to precisely drive facial bionic muscles, reproducing the most subtle and authentic micro-expressions. · Highly flexible expansion, limitless potential: Pioneering a highly sophisticated modular series-parallel combination. Series configuration significantly increases stroke length and speed, whilst parallel configuration multiplies the output force. Combined with innovative self-locking properties, it is fully adaptable to a vast array of scenarios, including humanoid robots and smart interactions, endowing machines with true vitality.
