Application Hardware Stack

Review the subsystem interfaces before selecting a quote path.

Humanoid projects usually combine compact joint actuation, reducers and encoders, moving servo harnesses, lightweight links, hand or end-effector interfaces, multi-camera sensing and high-density host compute.

Core Hardware Subsystems

  • Frameless torque motors, servos and joint drives
  • Strain wave reducers, bearings, encoders and brakes
  • Dynamic servo, encoder and power harness routing
  • Carbon fiber or lightweight frame and link structures
  • Hands, grippers and end-effector adapters
  • Head, torso and body camera or depth sensor stack
  • Jetson Orin or x86 host compute with controlled CAD/STEP

ENGINEERING FILES / CONTROLLED ACCESS NOTES

Public previews can support early screening, but original STEP/STP files, complete drawings, internal BOMs and supplier-sensitive records require controlled access review through RFQ. Application pages prepare that context; they do not auto-release engineering files.

Humanoid file requests should name the joint, link, hand, sensor or host interface involved and state whether the decision concerns envelope, mounting, routing, mass, thermal path or connector access.

Review file workflow

Hardware Path Matrix

Map each subsystem to catalog, custom build, integration package and RFQ inputs.

Subsystem Catalog Components Custom Build Integration Package RFQ Inputs
Joint actuation
Motors & Actuation Power Transmission
Joint torque, speed, envelope, encoder, brake and reducer context.
Lightweight skeleton
Structure context
3D model, load path, stiffness, target weight and mounting interfaces.
Head sensing
Sensing & Feedback Control & Communication
Camera or depth sensor type, GMSL2 / Ethernet, host platform, SDK and mounting location.

Procurement Fit

Choose the path that matches the decision currently blocking the project.

Catalog

Use Products for defined frameless motors, servo motors, reducers, encoders or force sensors when the joint envelope and performance targets are already known.

Custom Build

Use Custom Builds for moving joint harnesses, carbon fiber links, lightweight structures, tooling adapters or host-to-sensor interface hardware shaped by the robot geometry.

Integration Package

Use an Integration Package when joint drive, sensing, host compute, teleoperation or electrical interfaces must be reviewed as a coordinated humanoid subsystem.

Engineering Files

Use Engineering Files for motor/reducer drawings, joint envelopes, STEP/STP, link CAD, pinouts, interface maps and supplier-controlled documents needed for packaging review.

RFQ Preparation Checklist

  • Total Degrees of Freedom (DoF), joint count, torque, speed and duty targets
  • Hollow-shaft joint routing, joint envelope and high-density cable path constraints
  • Harmonic drive size or reducer size, if supplied
  • Motor power bus separation from absolute encoder feedback
  • Encoder feedback protocol: SSI, BiSS-C, incremental or absolute
  • Dexterous hand payload, wrist payload and end-effector interface
  • EtherCAT, CANopen, RS485 or other communication context

Required input context

  • EMI cross-talk isolation mapping in hollow-shaft joint spaces
  • Motor, reducer, encoder, brake and bearing concept
  • Camera, depth, force, hand and host compute stack
  • Required joint drawings, link CAD, STEP/STP or interface files

Not the right path if

This page does not imply full humanoid system delivery, locomotion control validation, balance algorithm validation or certified safety performance.

EmbodyStack does not guarantee humanoid safety certification; balance, locomotion, fall safety and final system validation remain customer responsibilities.

After submission

  • Separate catalog-ready joint components from geometry-dependent custom builds.
  • Identify missing motor, reducer, harness, sensor, host and CAD interfaces.
  • Define the engineering package and controlled files needed for the next prototype review.

Application RFQ

Start with the information already available.

Route this request here when humanoid joint packaging, hollow-shaft cable routing, lightweight frame constraints, sensor stack, hands or host compute must be reviewed together before RFQ.
