Upper Body & Hand Connector Solutions for Humanoid Robots

Humanoid upper body systems demand connector solutions that support precise motion, dense electronics, and continuous articulation. Designed for arms, hands, and grippers, these interconnects deliver reliable power and signal transmission in compact, vibration-prone assemblies where secure mating and durability are essential. 

To support real-world humanoid platforms, connector solutions for upper body and hand architectures are designed to address:

  • Reliable power and signal delivery across articulated joints and moving assemblies
  • Compact, high-density layouts for tight PCB stacking in arms and hands
  • Secure mating and retention for vibration and repeated motion
  • Mechanical durability to support long-term operation in dynamic environments
