Allient, the global designer and manufacturer of specialty motion, controls, and power products and solutions has released a new whitepaper titled A Selection Guide to Motors for Humanoid Robotics Systems.

The whitepaper examines how actuators enable locomotion, manipulation, balance, and interaction in humanoid systems. It also outlines key motor technologies including frameless, slotless, geared, and direct-drive designs. Core performance factors such as torque density, inertia, response behaviour, and thermal constraints are covered in compact actuator environments, alongside system-level challenges, joint-level selection considerations, and emerging trends in humanoid actuation.

Allient applies decades of expertise in motor and motion technologies to support humanoid robotics systems in dynamic, real-world environments, delivering high torque density, precise control, and compact integration.

“Motor selection has a direct impact on humanoid system performance,” said Robert Mastromattei, Chief Commercial Officer & Group President at Allient. “This whitepaper highlights key considerations in humanoid actuation and offers insight into selecting motors across different joint functions.”
