The 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston brought together over 5,000 robotics professionals to explore the latest advancements in motion control, AI, sensing, software development, and humanoid robotics. CCTY joined a long list of exhibitors working with roboticist to continue advancing the field.
Custom Bearings for Humanoid Robotics
Bearings are critical components essential for replicating the natural range of motion found in the human body, ensuring that robots can perform tasks with agility and precision. Visitors to CCTY’s booth were able to get a first-hand look at the range of CCTY’s bespoke designs including:
- Crossed Roller Bearings: Ideal for applications requiring high rigidity and low profile, these bearings are crucial for joints that demand precise movement.
- Spherical Plain Bearings: Designed to accommodate misalignment and reduce friction, enhancing the durability and performance of robotic joints.
- Rod Ends and COM Bearings: Facilitating smooth articulation in robotic limbs, these components are vital for achieving lifelike motion.
These solutions are part of CCTY’s broader portfolio, which also includes bushings, ball bearings, and linkage assemblies, all engineered to meet the unique demands of humanoid robotics.
Addressing Industry Challenges
The summit also highlighted the challenges faced by the robotics industry, particularly concerning supply chain disruptions and development timelines.
Nik Jerinic, Humanoid Actuation and Articulation Manager, emphasized the company’s commitment to collaboration, stating, “Our ability to deliver custom samples in 30 days and deep engineering expertise resonates with leading developers.” This rapid prototyping capability positions CCTY as a trusted partner for robotics manufacturers seeking custom solutions to meet specific application requirements.
Looking Ahead
As the industry continues to evolve, CCTY remains committed to partnering with developers to bring innovative robotic systems to life. Upcoming trade shows include the October RoboBusiness and Humanoid Summit in December – both hosted in California.
