CNRE stated on the interactive platform that as the research and development of humanoid robots accelerates and commercial scenarios gradually expand, humanoid robots are becoming the core new engine for the growth of rare earth magnetic material demand. This demand logic stems from the performance adaptability of rare earth magnetic materials and will drive both "quantity" and "quality" increases in demand, resonating with existing fields. Rare earth magnetic materials are the core supporting materials for humanoid robots. Their excellent magnetic performance can enhance the power efficiency and control precision of servo motors, meeting the flexible operation needs of precise joints in robots; high energy density characteristics enable the miniaturization and lightweight of motors and sensors, assisting robots in adapting to multiple scenarios; applications in energy-saving components can also reduce energy consumption and lower carbon emissions, aligning with the trend of green manufacturing. The structure of humanoid robots with multiple precise joints creates a rigid demand for rare earth magnetic materials—each joint's servo motor relies on rare earth magnetic materials to achieve strong torque output in a small volume, ensuring stable performance under high-frequency conditions
