Joyson Electronics will officially debut its "Lingxi" series dexterous hands and third-generation AI head assembly at WAIC 2026, showcasing its complete component matrix in embodied intelligence as it strategically transforms from an automotive Tier 1 to a robotics Tier 1 supplier.
WAIC 2026 Debut: Full-Stack Robotics Component Matrix
During the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026), Joyson Electronics will officially unveil its "Lingxi" series dexterous hands and showcase a range of innovative embodied intelligence solutions, including its third-generation AI head assembly, embodied intelligence brains, solid-liquid hybrid energy systems, and industrial robot applications.
This marks Joyson's entry into the product demonstration phase after its strategic investment period in robotics.
Strategic Positioning: Dual Automotive + Robotics Tier 1 Supplier
In 2025, Joyson Electronics repositioned itself as a "Tier 1 supplier for both automotive and robotics." To achieve this, it established specialized subsidiaries including Joyson Embodied Intelligence and Joyson Lingxi Intelligence, made a strategic investment in Linjidian, and released component solutions such as large and small brain controllers, energy management systems, and head assemblies—effectively building a comprehensive matrix of key components for emerging intelligent agents.
| Business Segment | Core Product | Technical Highlights | Application Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dexterous Hands | Lingxi Series | Multi-DOF fine manipulation | Industrial assembly, service interaction |
| Head Assembly | 3rd Gen AI Head | 3 DOF + head projection | Human-machine interaction, visual perception |
| Intelligent Brain | Brain Controllers | Computing power up to 2070 TOPS | Decision reasoning, motion planning |
| Energy System | Solid-liquid Hybrid Battery | Semi-solid tech migration | Extended range, enhanced safety |
Three Major Upgrades in the 3rd Gen AI Head Assembly
The new-generation head assembly released by Joyson in May 2026 features three key upgrades over the previous model:
- More realistic human-like movement dimensions: Three degrees of freedom enable flexible human-like head motion, making robots feel more "human" during interactions
- New head projection capability: Added head projection device for human-machine interaction information output, building upon the previous generation's voice and facial curved display
- More futuristic sci-fi aesthetic design: Adopts a sleek "water droplet and anthropomorphic contour" shape with ear breathing lights as visual carriers for dynamic emotional expression
The new head assembly uses a "semi-wrap face shield" to highlight the core sensing area while achieving natural facial partitioning, creating a more tech-forward overall appearance.
Energy System Strategy: Migrating Automotive Tech to Robotics
In the energy systems domain, Joyson Electronics is migrating vehicle-end power system technology to humanoid robots. In 2025, it launched embedded and backpack-style battery packs, along with an integrated thorax assembly solution combining "brain fusion + power supply + heat dissipation."
In May 2026, Joyson partnered with Enpower to establish Ningbo Junen New Energy, focusing on embodied intelligence solid-state battery technology R&D. The company provides integrated energy solutions encompassing cells, BMS supporting systems, and data services to meet robotics needs for range, safety, and lightweighting.
Commercial Progress: Partnerships with Leading Robotics Companies
Currently, Joyson Electronics has established cooperation and supply relationships with multiple leading robotics companies both domestically and internationally, including Zhiyuan, Galaxy General, and RIVR. Its robot brain controller achieves computing power of 2070 TOPS, and is being deployed in partnerships with Tesla, Zhiyuan Robotics, and other leading enterprises.
The company has maintained R&D spending exceeding 3 billion yuan for 8 consecutive years, breaking through 4 billion yuan in 2025, with robotics being one of the key investment areas. This sustained high-intensity R&D investment provides a solid technical foundation for Joyson's transformation from automotive Tier 1 to robotics Tier 1.
As embodied intelligence moves from laboratories to factories, Joyson's component matrix is well-positioned to achieve scaled commercialization ahead of competitors.
