Recently, Shenzhen Xinjingcheng Sensing Technology Co., Ltd., as the leading unit, jointly initiated the "Research and Development of Micro Six Dimensional Force Sensors for Finger Joints in Multi Finger Smart Hands" project with top universities in China, which has been successfully approved as the 2024 Shenzhen Science and Technology Major Special Project for Intelligent Robots. This achievement once again demonstrates the recognition of Xinjingcheng Sensor's technological strength in the field of humanoid robot mechanical perception, further consolidating its position in the forefront technology and industrial development of embodied intelligent robot mechanical perception.

The Shenzhen Major Science and Technology Project aims to focus on supporting core technologies, key components, and major equipment that enhance the core competitiveness and independent innovation capabilities of industries, strengthen the competitiveness of Shenzhen's high-tech industries, enhance the independent innovation capabilities of industries, and accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement. The major science and technology projects for 2024 cover ten areas, including semiconductors and integrated circuits, intelligent robots, networks and communications, low altitude economy and aerospace, health diagnosis and treatment, new drugs and vaccines, new materials, photonics, synthetic biology, and sustainable development.

In the Shenzhen "20+8" Industrial Plan 2.0 released in March 2024, "intelligent robots" were added as a key development industry. In August 2024, Shenzhen successfully held the Smart Hand Conference and the Shenzhen Intelligent Robot Smart Hand Industry Development Conference. Subsequently, the first Shenzhen Intelligent Robot Agile Hand Competition finals were held in December 2024. Shenzhen has explicitly stated its commitment to building an innovation source for global intelligent robot dexterous hand technology, a manufacturing hub, and a demonstration base for integrated applications, in order to achieve the comprehensive improvement of the "three regions" goals.

The six axis force sensor, as the top technology of force sensing sensors, is a key component for achieving high-precision and comprehensive perception of dexterous hands. The dexterous hand demands high miniaturization and integration of sensors in order to better embed them into slender fingers. At the same time, six dimensional force sensors need to have high sensitivity, high resolution, and fast response capabilities to accurately and quickly capture small forces, which poses high technical challenges for their design and manufacturing.

As a domestic enterprise in the field of six dimensional force sensors, Xinjingcheng Sensor has rich experience in the design and development of six dimensional force sensors. The company currently covers four principles in the layout of six axis force sensor technology: resistance strain type, capacitance type, MEMS type, and piezoelectric type, and can provide customers with optimal solutions based on the advantages of different principles. In addition, Xinjingcheng sensors have successfully solved the cost control and mass production problems of sensors through structural decoupling and software decoupling technology.

In 2023, the company has successfully launched a resistance strain type six axis force sensor with a diameter of only 9.5 millimeters. At present, the diameter of multiple six axis force sensor products is below 10 millimeters, demonstrating the company's rich experience in the field of miniaturization.

With the support of Shenzhen, the major project of intelligent robot dexterous hand micro six axis force sensor technology led by Xinjingcheng Sensor will invest millions of yuan to form a multidisciplinary team covering mathematics, mechanics, materials, machinery, artificial intelligence, computer science, digitization, control, design and manufacturing. The project will focus on the high-dimensional and high-precision perception requirements of dexterous hands, and conduct research from five aspects: structural design, algorithm design, hardware design, manufacturing process, and application verification. The aim is to break through key technical difficulties such as size and accuracy, develop products with technical indicators that meet the level, and realize their application in dexterous hands.

The undertaking of the development task for a major science and technology project fully reflects the profound technical accumulation, product advantages, and industrialization capabilities of Xinjingcheng Sensor in the field of six dimensional force sensors, indicating that its research and development strength and innovation ability have been highly recognized.

As a national high-tech enterprise and a specialized and innovative enterprise in Shenzhen, Xinjingcheng Sensor has been committed to the research and innovation of industrial grade products for diversified intelligent sensors and control instruments such as micro pressure, weighing, six axis force, torque, etc. since its establishment in 2009. The company provides force control system solutions and technical cooperation for multiple fields such as 3C automation equipment, precision medicine, agriculture, new energy lithium batteries, robots, semiconductors, aviation and railway, and universities, accumulating a large number of core technologies and achievements, and forming a comprehensive advantage in the field of force sensors.

In the future, Xinjingcheng Sensor will take this major technological project as an opportunity to further increase its research and development efforts in the fields of micro six axis force sensors, MEMS six axis force sensors, etc., overcome core technical difficulties and production bottlenecks, and strive to become an important force in promoting the development of embodied intelligent humanoid robot industry!
