Experts from EPC and Texas Instruments explain why GaN dominates humanoid robot motor drive design at the joint level.

A humanoid robot requires approximately 40 to 80 motors to drive its limbs and torso, with each hand containing more than a dozen additional motors to replicate dexterous manipulation. The high density of independent actuators creates a complex power-electronics integration challenge that must be packaged within human-dimensional constraints.
