Mingjiada Electronics Launches Comprehensive Acquisition of Core Chips for Humanoid Robots: Covering AI Computing Power, Motion Control, Sensing, and Storage to Empower Industrial, Home, and Commercial Applications

As humanoid robots transition from the laboratory to mass production, chips—serving as their “brain,” “cerebellum,” and “nervous system”—are experiencing explosive growth in demand. Amid this technological revolution, Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Mingjiada Electronics”), leveraging nearly three decades of experience in electronic component distribution and inventory recovery, has officially announced the full launch of a specialized acquisition program for chips across all humanoid robot application scenarios. The initiative focuses on meeting the massive demand for high-performance chips in core application areas such as industrial manufacturing, home services, and commercial logistics.

Reason for the Acquisition: Humanoid Robots Drive Demand for “Chip Super-End Devices”

According to industry analysis, a single humanoid robot has dozens to hundreds of joints throughout its body, creating explosive demand for heterogeneous computing, high-performance analog chips, and customized SoCs. Chips in humanoid robots function as their “brain” (responsible for environmental perception, task planning, and AI inference), “cerebellum” (responsible for motion control and joint coordination), and “nervous system and heart” (responsible for sensing, communication, and power management). Mingjiada Electronics is capitalizing on this trend, aiming to help enterprises across the supply chain monetize high-value chip assets through professional inventory acquisition services, thereby promoting the efficient circulation of resources within the AI and robotics industries.

Brands and Product Categories Being Acquired: Covering Core International and Domestic Manufacturers

Mingjiada Electronics has established long-term partnerships with over 500 renowned global semiconductor brands. This specialized acquisition campaign for humanoid robot chips focuses on the following key brands and product lines:

1. AI Computing Chips: The full NVIDIA product line

As the “brain” of humanoid robots, AI decision-making chips handle the most complex intelligent tasks. Mingjiada Electronics is prioritizing the high-value acquisition of NVIDIA’s full range of robotics and AI processor chips, including:

Jetson Thor Series: A flagship humanoid robot computing platform featuring the Blackwell architecture, with FP4 computing power reaching up to 2,070 TFLOPS; it serves as the core hardware supporting the operation of the GR00T base model.

Jetson AGX Orin / Orin Nano / NX Series: Covering the full spectrum of computing power requirements from high-end to lightweight, these are widely used in scenarios such as industrial inspections and service robots.

IGX Thor Series: Designed specifically for industrial-grade, high-reliability applications, meeting the functional safety requirements of collaborative robots and surgical robots.

2. Motion Control and Servo Drive Chips: TI, ST, Infineon, NXP

Motion control chips serve as the robot’s “cerebellum,” responsible for translating commands into precise mechanical movements. Key brands to acquire include:

Texas Instruments (TI): TMS320F28377D servo drive MCU, DRV83xx motor drivers.

STMicroelectronics (ST): STM32H7/G4 series high-performance motion control MCUs, widely used for joint motor and dexterous gripper control.

Infineon: IGBTs, MOSFET power devices, and EtherCAT communication chips.

NXP: Automotive-grade MCUs and security chips.

3. Sensing and Signal Chain Chips: ADI, Renesas, Bosch

Sensor chips serve as a robot’s “nerve endings,” responsible for perceiving the physical world. Mingjiada focuses on acquiring:

Analog Devices (ADI): LTC4372 series ideal diode controllers, used for redundant parallel connections of multi-cell battery packs and power protection for joint modules.

Renesas: Sensor signal conditioners, position sensors, and motor control MCUs.

Bosch: MEMS sensors such as inertial measurement units (IMUs).

4. Domestic Substitute Chips: GigaDevice, Allwinner

Domestic chips are playing an increasingly important role in humanoid robots:

GigaDevice : The GD32H7 series of ultra-high-performance MCUs is already used for dexterous hand control (with force control accuracy of 0.01 N), while NOR Flash is used for storing fast-boot code.

Allwinner: The MR527/MR813 series AI SoCs, featuring an integrated multi-core CPU+GPU+NPU heterogeneous architecture, support SLAM algorithms and millisecond-level response times, and have provided core computing power for products such as the Xiaomi CyberDog and the Yushu series.

Application Scenarios: Comprehensive Coverage from Industrial to Home Environments

The chips acquired in this deal will directly serve the three core application scenarios for humanoid robots:

Industrial Manufacturing and Logistics: Leveraging the high-reliability MCUs from TI and ST, along with the high-security computing power of NVIDIA IGX Thor, these solutions meet the stringent requirements for millisecond-level latency and functional safety in precision assembly and material handling, helping factories achieve intelligent upgrades.

Home Services and Companionship: Relying on low-power, cost-effective SoCs from Allwinner’s MR series and Rockchip, as well as storage chips from GigaDevice, these solutions enable voice interaction, environmental perception, and affective computing, while ensuring user data privacy and long battery life.

Commercial Services and Patrols: Leveraging the general-purpose computing power of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin series and high-precision sensors from ADI and ST, these solutions support dynamic obstacle avoidance and multi-sensor fusion, finding widespread application in shopping mall navigation, campus patrols, and medical assistance.
