INSPIRE-ROBOTS

What INSPIRE-ROBOTS does

INSPIRE-ROBOTS (Beijing Inspire Robots Technology Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Beijing-headquartered high-tech company founded in 2016 that develops and manufactures micro high-precision motion control components, with a portfolio anchored by three core product lines: Micro Linear Servo Actuators, five-fingered Dexterous Hands, and Electric Grippers. Its Micro Linear Servo Actuator integrates a coreless motor, precision planetary reducer, sensor, precision screw mechanism, and closed-loop control system into a miniaturized form factor, offered in five series (LA, LAF, LAS, LASF, BLA) with ±2μm repeatability and up to 250N thrust; the Dexterous Hands product line combines six of these actuators with force and tactile sensors to deliver 6-DOF, 12-joint hands capable of sub-millimeter positioning and multi-kilogram load capacity, including the FTP variant with 12 tactile sensor modules and over 1 million cycle lifespan. The company serves customers across robotics (humanoid, bionic, surgical, teleoperated), industrial automation (new energy battery coating dies, 3C electronics, semiconductors), biomedical equipment, aerospace, and education/research, with 700+ global partners including Fortune 500 enterprises and top-10 battery manufacturers, and reports deliveries of 10,000+ Dexterous Hands in 2025 alongside 100,000-unit annual actuator production capacity.

The company operates a direct B2B sales-led model with quote-based enterprise pricing, multi-year contracts available, and no public pricing. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales teams in Beijing, Suzhou, Shenzhen, and a planned German branch, with active participation in more than ten international trade shows (SPS, Hannover Messe, CIIF, ITES, World Robot Conference, AUTOMATE, ICRA, IROS) and integrations with ROS and AUBO collaborative robots. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales and OEM/equipment manufacturer partnerships in which INSPIRE actuators are embedded in customer equipment, particularly in battery coating lines. The investor base is a top-tier coalition of government-backed funds (Beijing AI Industry Investment Fund, Shenzhen Capital Group, Jinshi Digital Economy Fund), industrial strategics (China Mobile, TCL, Boyuan/Bosch), and tier-1 VC firms (Qiming, Fortis, Primavera), with combined C1 and C2 financing announced in February 2026 totaling hundreds of millions of RMB. Certifications include CE, RoHS, FCC, and ISO 9001.

Core offering

INSPIRE-ROBOTS manufactures micro high-precision motion control components, including Micro Linear Servo Actuators, Dexterous Hands, and Electric Grippers. These components are designed for industrial automation, robotics, biomedical equipment, and aerospace applications, with positioning accuracy down to ±2μm. The company offers a full-stack self-developed product portfolio from actuator-level components to integrated dexterous hand systems.

Product overview

INSPIRE-ROBOTS offers a portfolio of micro high-precision motion control products centered around three core offerings: Micro Linear Servo Actuators, The Dexterous Hands, and Electric Grippers. The Micro Linear Servo Actuator serves as the foundational component across multiple series (LA, LAF, LAS, LASF, BLA), integrating motors, reducers, sensors, and control systems into compact form factors for robotics and industrial automation. The Dexterous Hands leverage these actuators internally to deliver five-fingered humanoid hands with force/tactile sensing, available in standard and FTP variants. Electric Grippers provide complementary end-effector capabilities. The portfolio is supported by electrical and mechanical accessories including communication converters, controllers, and joint components, enabling customers to build complete robotic systems for applications spanning robotics, new energy, 3C electronics, semiconductors, and biomedical fields.
