Foxconn's Li Guangyao: Why We Invested in a Six-Axis Force Sensor Company
Overview
Li Guangyao, GM of Foxconn's C Business Group and Chairman of Fuyuan Technology, explains the group's strategic shift from low-margin assembly to high-value robotics components. He highlights an investment in Kunwei Technology, a six-axis force sensor firm holding a reported 58% market share, noting that sensors were integrated into new mechanical arms demonstrated at Foxconn's tech day. Li argues that force control is essential for flexible manufacturing tasks like soft object handling, contrasting this with tactile skin approaches and emphasizing industrial deployment over consumer robotics.
