ICHE Begins Supplying Materials for Humanoid Robots to Global Electric Vehicle Company

ICHE has started supplying materials for humanoid robots to a global electric vehicle company.

According to ICHE on August 26, the high-performance polyurethane (PU) foam now being supplied will be used for the joint areas such as fingers and wrists in humanoid robots. These materials are designed to provide enhanced shock and vibration absorption, improved stability under repeated compression, and long-term durability, all tailored to meet the demands of robot environments where continuous movement and impact or vibration occur. The company developed this solution based on its expertise in ultra-lightweight design and mass production experience accumulated in the mobile materials sector.

With this new supply of materials for humanoid robots, ICHE is diversifying its applications and securing new growth engines. Humanoid robots, which require lightweight designs and high durability for repeated motion, are considered a representative field where the application of high-performance PU foam is expected to expand in the future.

ICHE is also expanding achievements in the mobile materials business through new supply contracts for premium smartphone lines. It supplies electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets and high-performance foam materials for Samsung Electronics' 'Galaxy Z Fold8' and 'Galaxy Z Flip8', and its polyethylene (PE) foam-based cushioning solution has been adopted for Apple's foldable products.

An ICHE representative stated, "Having passed our client's stringent quality assessments, we started full-scale delivery of materials for humanoid robots this month," adding, "Through this supply initiative, we plan to actively foster the humanoid robot materials business as a new growth driver."
