Joyson Electronics, a Chinese auto parts supplier, has further expanded into the robotics industry with the launch of three innovative products.
The company revealed an AI-powered robot head assembly, a robot domain controller utilizing Nvidia’s Jetson Thor chip, and a robot energy management system at an event yesterday. Unlike suppliers that focus solely on individual components, these products emphasize seamless integration.
The company also presented several robot components, including binocular depth cameras, olfactory sensors, solid-state LiDAR sensors, and inertial measurement units.
“Building on our auto parts expertise, adopting an integrated assembly approach improves product stability and maximizes the value of each component,” stated Hu Shuang, general manager of the newly established Joyson Embodied Intelligence Robotics division in April.
The domain controller, for example, features an AI computing capacity of 2,070 tera operations per second, which is 7.5 times greater than Nvidia’s previous-generation Orin chip. Its CPU performance is also 3.1 times better, Hu added. “Just a month after Nvidia launched the Jetson Thor platform, we are leveraging it to enhance robot capabilities.”
The company aspires to become a “Tier 1 supplier for both automotive and robotics sectors,” according to Board Secretary Yu Chaohui. Nonetheless, like many in the industry, its robotics segment is still in its early stages, with growth depending heavily on ongoing product innovation and technological investments.
Joyson plans to deliver customized robot domain controllers and energy management solutions to Swiss robotics firm RIVR. Their robot energy management products have already been tested by companies such as AgiBot and Galbot since the beginning of this year.
The global humanoid robot market is projected to reach USD 32.4 billion by 2029, and China’s market is expected to surpass CNY 75 billion (approximately USD 10.6 billion), according to a report presented at the First Chinese Humanoid Robot Industry Conference and Embodied AI Summit in Beijing last April.
Founded in 2004, Joyson specializes in automotive safety systems and smart cockpit electronics, holding the second-largest market share worldwide in safety systems. The company entered the robotics field this year as part of its strategic expansion.
The company’s shares increased by 1.6 percent to CNY 37.45 (around USD 5.26) during today’s morning trading in Shanghai, following a 10 percent surge yesterday, which was the maximum daily limit.
