Electronic Specifier has opened registration for its upcoming webinar, Key design considerations for humanoid robotics, taking place on Tuesday, 8th September 2026 at 2:00pm BST.
Humanoid robotics has moved rapidly from research labs to commercial roadmaps, with major players including Tesla, Figure, Agility Robotics, and Unitree all publicly targeting production timelines within the next few years. That shift is bringing a distinct set of engineering challenges to the fore – ones that don’t map neatly onto existing robotics or automation experience.
This webinar will unpack those challenges directly. How should design teams balance payload capacity against overall weight, given that every additional joint adds mass and power draw? What’s the right balance of autonomy versus teleoperation, and what does that decision mean for onboard compute requirements? And what does a realistic cost-per-unit path look like, when actuators, sensors, and battery systems are still priced for prototype volumes rather than scale production?
Bringing together key voices from across the humanoid robotics space, the session will take a practical, engineering-first approach – examining what design teams should evaluate before committing to a design direction, and highlighting where teams are currently getting it right, and where they’re getting it wrong.
The session will be hosted by Paige Hookway, Managing Editor, Electronic Specifier and is free to attend and open to all, with the session set to be recorded for anyone unable to join live. It runs for one hour and will be delivered in English.
