Small motor,big step, wheel hub motor unlocks new paradigm for robot walking
Zhongling| 2025-12-16| Return

From precise collaboration on industrial production lines to flexible interaction in service scenarios, from breaking through dangerous situations in post disaster rescue to exploring the limits of special exploration, the walking ability of robots has always been the core proposition that determines their operational efficiency and application boundaries. The complex transmission structure of traditional drive systems often puts robots in the dilemma of "bulky and sluggish" and "stiff action", while the emergence of wheel hub motors is bringing a disruptive technological change to the "stepping" of robots.


As a new type of drive unit that highly integrates power, transmission, and braking systems into the wheel hub, the core advantage of the wheel hub motor is that it eliminates redundant components such as reducers, transmission shafts, and differentials in traditional drive schemes, achieving "zero distance" transmission of power. For robots, this means that each mechanical leg and each moving joint can have an independent and controllable power source, without compromising structural design for power distribution. When the robot needs to complete complex actions such as turning, climbing, and obstacle crossing, the wheel hub motor can accurately control the single wheel speed and torque according to real-time working conditions, making the robot's gait more flexible and coordinated in biological motion.  


In industrial scenarios, handling robots and collaborative robots equipped with wheel hub motors are becoming the backbone of intelligent manufacturing. In narrow production line channels, this type of robot can achieve 360 degree stationary turning without reserving a large turning radius, greatly improving the utilization of workshop space; Faced with stacked goods and sloping slopes, the high torque output characteristic of the wheel hub motor allows the robot to smoothly climb slopes and move forward with heavy loads. With precise speed control, it effectively avoids the risk of goods bouncing and falling off. Compared to traditional driven industrial robots, the modular design of wheel hub motors also makes equipment installation and maintenance more convenient. Enterprises do not need to invest a lot of time in dismantling complex transmission structures, and only need to replace a single wheel hub motor unit to complete maintenance, significantly reducing long-term operation and maintenance costs.


In the field of service robots, wheel hub motors give equipment the confidence to "enter life". In densely populated shopping malls and hotel lobbies, welcome robots and guide robots can accurately follow the crowd and flexibly avoid pedestrians with the low noise and high response characteristics of wheel hub motors, avoiding the embarrassment of traditional robots' "lagging and stopping"; In home settings, the cleaning robot equipped with wheel hub motors can easily climb over obstacles such as thresholds and carpet edges, and with the help of multi motor collaborative control algorithms, achieve seamless cleaning of the entire house; In the medical field, rehabilitation robots equipped with wheel hub motors can adjust the assist torque in real time according to the patient's limb movements, providing safer and more ergonomic support for rehabilitation training and helping patients recover their exercise ability faster. In special operation scenarios, the impact resistance and harsh environmental resistance of wheel hub motors give robots the ability to challenge their limits. At the post disaster rescue site, the rugged road surface under the ruins is covered with gravel and debris, and the transmission structure of traditional driving robots is easily damaged and stuck. The integrated sealing design of the wheel hub motor can effectively resist the intrusion of dust and mud, allowing the rescue robot to move steadily and accurately locate the position of survivors; In the field of mining exploration and deep-sea exploration, wheel hub motors can adapt to extreme working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and strong corrosion, driving exploration robots to go deep into areas that are difficult for humans to access and collect valuable geological and marine data; In the field of military security, inspection robots equipped with wheel hub motors can autonomously patrol complex terrains for long periods of time. With flexible mobility and stable power output, they safeguard the safety of important areas.

Compared to traditional driving solutions, wheel hub motors also bring dual advantages of lightweight and energy-saving to robots. After eliminating complex transmission components, the weight of the robot body is significantly reduced, which not only lowers material costs but also reduces energy losses, resulting in a significant improvement in endurance time. Taking a delivery robot equipped with a wheel hub motor as an example, its range has increased by more than 30% compared to traditional drive products of the same type, which can meet the demand for uninterrupted delivery 24/7. At the same time, the energy recovery function of the wheel hub motor can also convert the kinetic energy generated during robot deceleration and braking into electrical energy storage, further improving energy utilization efficiency, which is in line with the current trend of green and low-carbon development.


From laboratories to industrialization, from industrial applications to life services, wheel hub motors are redefining the walking logic of robots. It breaks the bottleneck of traditional driving technology with its integration advantage of "small and precise", allowing robots to "take a step forward" in more scenarios and calmly cope with diverse job requirements. With the continuous integration and upgrading of motor control technology and artificial intelligence algorithms, wheel hub motors will also endow robots with more intelligent motion decision-making capabilities - future robots may be able to "perceive" road conditions like humans, autonomously adjust gait and force, and achieve more natural and efficient movement in complex environments.


Small motors drive the future, and the innovative breakthroughs in wheel hub motors not only inject new vitality into the robotics industry, but also quietly outline a beautiful picture of human-machine collaboration. When robots can walk more flexibly and intelligently in every corner of the world, humans will also be liberated from tedious physical labor and devoted to more creative endeavors.
