BOSTON, MA - May 2026 - Quanten Technologies Inc., a pioneer in advanced electric motor technology, recently debuted its latest breakthrough innovations at the annual Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston. Quanten officially introduced the QJL series motor and drive solutions for linear actuators and the QJR series solutions for rotary actuators, a complementary suite of motion solutions specifically engineered to meet the stringent power, weight and efficiency demands of advanced humanoid robotics, and presented its industry-leading technology in an onsite seminar titled Building Powerful and Efficient Robot Motors through Smart Multi-Phase Technology.
Designed for seamless structural integration, the QJL series optimizes linear movement in robotic limbs, while the QJR series provides high-torque rotary motion for high-power joints. Together, these products deliver a significant leap in power-to-weight performance, achieving a 30% weight reduction and a 50% thrust increase compared to conventional alternatives.
The foundation of this drastic improvement is Quanten’s proprietary Multi-phase Dynamically Reconfigurable Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (DR) technology, which represents a major departure from industry standard three-phase Brushless DC (BLDC) systems. Quanten’s DR motors unlock unprecedented efficiency gains across the entire operational spectrum:
· Heavy-Load Efficiency: Elevates efficiency from the standard 50% range found in BLDC motors up to an extraordinary 70% range, cutting the power-loss and heat-generation by 2X while providing superior peak power and torque for robots.
· Nominal-Load Efficiency: Enhances efficiency from 80% to 90% for typical load ranges that a robot motor would spend most of its time in. By cutting energy loss by 2X, Quanten products enhance energy efficiency and reduce thermal generation to enable long useful lifecycle of robots in real environments.
n the technical seminar at the summit, Quanten highlighted the transformative benefits of multi-phase dynamically reconfigurable motors in humanoid applications. The session addressed a critical bottleneck currently facing the robotics industry: while AI and software models are advancing exponentially, physical hardware and actuator constraints continue to limit real-world deployment of humanoid robots.
"The true bottleneck hindering the robotics revolution isn't just software or AI, it is also physical actuation. Traditional motors are simply not efficient or lightweight enough to support industrial adoption. By leveraging multi-phase dynamic reconfiguration technology, we have unlocked significantly more actuation capability with up to a 50% decrease in motor weight and heat generation, all without increasing overall bill of materials costs. This is the hardware breakthrough required to transition robots out of the research lab and onto the factory floor.” said Ted Mao, Product Director for Robotics at Quanten.
