Industry developments and technical notes
We follow technical and market developments in automotive FPC and flexible circuits for humanoid robotics, and we welcome the conversation.
Focus areas
FPC replacing automotive harnesses
With light weight, high flex endurance and dense integration, FPC is replacing conventional harnesses across smart cockpits and body control.
Flexible circuits for humanoid robots
A single humanoid robot uses 40-70 flexible circuits, with demand growing quickly for joint drives, tactile dexterous hands and vision modules.
Automotive process and quality
We keep refining our process window and full-flow validation around demanding temperature, flex life and conductive stability criteria.

Technical noteFive design essentials for humanoid dexterous hand FPC
As humanoid robots reach volume production, the five-finger dexterous hand has become a core interaction component, and its internal high-density tactile sensing FPC now determines how the hand feels and how long it lasts. Compared with consumer electronics flex, it faces far tougher constraints on space, bending and consistency.

Technical noteClear advantages as electronic shifters move to FPC
With electric vehicles and smart cockpits becoming mainstream, column switches and electronic shifters are replacing mechanical gear levers, and the internal dynamic signal interconnect is being upgraded with them. Conventional multi-strand harnesses suffer from untidy routing, breakage under repeated shifting, fiddly assembly and a bulky footprint, leaving FPC clearly ahead.
