Samhyun to unveil humanoid actuators and quadruped robot at Robot World 2026
In short
Samhyun, a South Korean motion control company, said on October 6 that it will take part in ROBOTWORLD 2026, held November 4–7 at KINTEX in Ilsan, Goyang. The company said it will show its AXLON humanoid actuator line, a high-load autonomous mobile robot under a new brand, and a DIY-assembly quadruped robot. CEO Park Ki-won said Samhyun aims to prove its robot technology and expand into new areas after winning mass-production orders for AXLON.
Why it matters
Samhyun says it has entered the global humanoid robot supply chain through mass-production orders for its AXLON actuator, a component category that Asian suppliers are competing for as humanoid programs scale up. The trade-show lineup, including a new brand for high-load autonomous mobile robots, indicates the company is broadening beyond actuators, though no order volumes or customers were disclosed.
