Webinar – More Torque, Less Heat: 48 V Humanoid Power Design

As humanoid robots become more capable and autonomous, the demands placed on their power systems continue to grow. Every joint actuator must deliver smooth, precise motion while operating within strict electrical, mechanical, and thermal constraints. Designers are challenged to provide high peak current, accurate motor control, and robust battery protection, all within increasingly compact system architectures.

Success requires a system-level strategy that balances efficiency, power density, thermal performance, and reliability across the entire robot platform. Join Brian LaValle, Director of Power Switch Marketing from Infineon Technologies and Simon Reuning, Global Technical Marketing Manager for YAGEO Group for an in-depth webinar exploring how advanced power semiconductors and passive components can work together to improve the performance of 48 V humanoid robot power systems. Experts from both companies will discuss how OptiMOS™ 6 and OptiMOS™ 8 power MOSFETs can be combined with capacitors, resistors, inductors, and sensors from YAGEO Group to create highly efficient and reliable power architectures.

This webinar explores DC-link capacitance sizing, including how to manage motor-drive ripple currents and transient load conditions. In addition, attendees will learn how low-loss current sensing technologies can improve torque-control accuracy, resulting in smoother motion and better overall robot performance. Discussion focuses on one of the most critical design tradeoffs in humanoid robotics: achieving the right balance between power density, operating temperature, component count, and long-term reliability.

What You'll Learn

  • How to select 60 V, 80 V, and 100 V MOSFETs for various humanoid robot power stages
  • Methods for reducing conduction losses, switching losses, and unnecessary paralleling
  • Best practices for sizing DC-link capacitance for motor-drive ripple and transient currents
  • Techniques for improving torque-control accuracy using low-loss current sensing
  • Strategies for balancing power density, thermal performance, component count, and reliability

Whether you're developing motor drives, battery systems, or complete robotic architectures, this webinar will provide valuable insights into the latest technologies and design approaches for 48 V humanoid power systems. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from experts at Infineon Technologies and YAGEO Group and discover how integrated power solutions can help deliver more torque, less heat, and greater system reliability.

Reserve your spot today and take the next step toward building the next generation of humanoid robots.
