LAS VEGAS — The burgeoning progress of bodily synthetic intelligence (AI) will redefine the marketplace for servo motors, notably for robotics, as demand for extra superior, high-performance motors is forecast to surge amid the rise of AI-powered industrial robots, in keeping with a analysis chief at Faraday Dynamics.
Faraday Dynamics is a startup centered on growing specialised motors used for exact and correct motion in electromechanical gadgets, similar to robots.
Demand for high-torque servo motors is anticipated to develop as robots more and more function alongside people in additional dynamic environments, the place precision, torque density, and light-weight design have gotten extra essential.
Excessive-torque servo motors, nevertheless, have been characterised by greater price and larger design complexity, so many companies right here and overseas halted their growth on the analysis or prototype stage. That is not the case, due to the commercial paradigm shift pushed by the rise of bodily AI.
“The robotics panorama has modified considerably with the current rise of humanoid robots, wearable robots and the idea of bodily AI,” Park Jung-hwan, head of analysis institute at Faraday Dynamics, mentioned throughout an interview on the sidelines of this yr’s CES tech truthful, Thursday (native time).
Faraday Dynamics showcased its up-to-date excessive torque servo motors throughout CES 2026, in search of extra alternatives to clinch potential offers to produce its options to world companies growing humanoid robots or next-generation robotics programs.

“For AI programs to work together meaningfully with the bodily world, actuators able to excessive torque and light-weight design are important,” he mentioned. The actuator is a key part enabling machines to hold out bodily motion, and servo motors are a sort of actuator.
Faraday Dynamics’ servo motors are primarily based on excessive torque density, enabling vital reductions in dimension and weight, whereas sustaining equal efficiency.
“This results in a discount in total system weight, which in flip permits for smaller and lighter battery programs, improved vitality effectivity and enhanced movement stability. These benefits are notably impactful for cellular robots and wearable robotic programs,” he mentioned.
Faraday Dynamics was based in 2020 by Chang Han-ddeut, a professor of mechanical engineering at Incheon Nationwide College.
The corporate initially centered on growing extra refined servo motors for robots and has lately began to see significant gross sales progress. Based on the agency, it recorded greater than a twofold enhance in gross sales in 2025 from the earlier yr.
Calculating its contracts which have already been secured, Faraday Dynamics additionally expects its gross sales progress of greater than 1,500 p.c in 2027 in contrast with 2026.
“This stage of progress represents the achievement of our internally outlined mid- to long-term targets roughly six years forward of the preliminary schedule,” Park mentioned.
The corporate additionally painted a short-term imaginative and prescient of slicing its manufacturing prices by increasing its mass-production capabilities over the following three years.
“We will even focus extra on buying world purchasers and considerably increasing our presence in abroad markets,” he mentioned.
“By attaining each excessive efficiency and value competitiveness, we intention to win a number one place within the world servo motor and next-generation robotic actuator market.”
