NEOOTO Begins Physical Assembly of Gear Reducers for Planetary Exploration Rovers
NEOOTO has begun assembling physical prototypes of key drive components to be installed on planetary exploration rovers.
According to NEOOTO on October 28, the physical assembly of the components is part of the "Technology Development Project for Localizing Drive Components for Planetary Exploration Rovers," led by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology, in which NEOOTO is participating. The project aims to localize robotic drive components and gear reducers capable of operating in the harsh space environment. As a key company in Subtask 1, NEOOTO is responsible for designing and independently developing precision components used in the motors, drivers and gear reducers of rover actuators.
The components are actuator gear reducers that will be used in key systems across planetary surface exploration rovers, including their drive systems, steering systems, suspension systems and work units. NEOOTO plans to apply its proprietary expertise in ultra-precision planetary gear machining, proven through mass production of conventional internal combustion engine transmissions and electric vehicle (EV) gear reducers, to the robotics sector and ensure reliability under extreme vibration and temperature changes.
