How to Design a PCB for a Humanoid Robot? A Comprehensive Guide to Hardware from Sensors to Drives
Humanoid robots have been a hot topic lately, from Tesla’s Optimus to Unitree across the strait—a host of teams are vying for a piece of this market. But for a robot to “see, think, and move,” it relies on a network of PCBs packed into its joints, torso, and head, which connect sensors, actuators, and AI processors.
This article summarizes several key considerations for designing humanoid robot circuit boards, as well as the advanced manufacturing processes currently in use in the industry. Whether you’re working on robotics, wearables, or any other product with space constraints that also requires high-speed performance, these concepts offer valuable insights.
