The Market Reports

Synopsis

The global market for Biped Robot was estimated to be worth US$ 332 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 21082 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 61.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Biped Robot cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.

Bipedal robots are biomimetic robots with a structure similar to that of human feet, enabling bipedal walking and related movements. They primarily rely on a servo system (motor + driver + encoder) to drive their joints. The servo system is also a core component of motion control. Every bipedal robot requires a servo system, whose components function as follows: the driver sends signals to the motor to move it, while the encoder feeds the motor's motion parameters back to the driver, which then aggregates, analyzes, and corrects these parameters. As a mechanically controlled dynamic system, bipedal robots possess a rich set of dynamic characteristics, exhibiting excellent degrees of freedom, flexible, free, and stable movements. Humanoid robots are generally classified into two categories based on their form factor: bipedal and wheeled (wheel-legged). Unlike bipedal robots, wheeled robots are primarily driven by a steering wheel and wheels. They have a simpler structure and are easy to control, enabling simple forward, turning, and backward movements.

Biped humanoid robots—units that walk on two articulated legs with a minimum of fourteen degrees of freedom—represent the canonical vision of human-centric automation. Their anatomy mimics the kinematics of the human musculoskeletal system: dual limb chains for lower-body locomotion, dual arms for manipulation, a torso housing power-distribution and compute, and a head-like module for sensors. Technical complexity is highest among all form factors: dynamic gait planning must reconcile center-of-mass shifts, zero-moment-point stability, and ground-reaction uncertainties across wide stance, tip-toe, and crouch modes.

Actuation is dominated by harmonic-drive or RV reducers coupled to frameless torque-dense motors; emerging series-elastic or direct-drive joints promise impact robustness at the cost of efficiency. Power density, once the bottleneck, is improving through 2170 / 4680 cylindrical Li-ion cells and SiC-based inverter stages, lifting continuous walking endurance beyond two hours.

As BOM cost falls—from USD >150 k per unit a decade ago to USD 40 k – 60 k today—early adopters have shifted from pure R&D toward factory pilots in automotive final assembly, semiconductor FOUP handling, and brown-field palletising. Regulatory alignment is progressing: ISO 13482 and IEC 61508 SIL-2 compliant joint torque limits, redundant LiDAR curtains, and force-limiting skins underpin CE and UL listings for indoor service deployment.

Supply-chain stress remains acute; global harmonic-gear capacity (~3 M sets/y) and high-torque hollow motors are gating factors for million-unit aspirations. Leading programmes (Tesla Optimus, Figure 01, UBTECH Walker-S, Unitree H1) are building 20 k – 100 k/y lines around automotive takt-time processes, betting on 80 % learning curves to push ASP below USD 20 k by 2030.

The biped category is expected to dominate volume by the decade’s end because its morphology best supports stair climbing, ladder negotiation, and retrofitting into environments designed for humans. Nonetheless, failure-modes—foot slippage, unexpected torsional loads, battery thermal-runaway inside compact torsos—demand rigorous FMEA and continuous OTA motion-kernel updates.

Ecosystem play is emerging: unit sales are increasingly bundled with task-library subscriptions (pick-and-place primitives, visual-servo “teach by demonstration”) and predictive-maintenance SaaS, shifting revenue toward recurring streams.
