Harmonic Drive at CES 2018 January 9 to 12 in Robotics Marketplace

By Lisa Eitel | January 8, 2018

Harmonic Drive LLC will be exhibiting at CES 2018 in Las Vegas in the Robotics Marketplace in South Hall, booth 25843. Harmonic Drive products are relied upon every day throughout the robotics community. Come see a live demo of the RoboMantis mobile robot from Motiv Robotics. Attendes will also get an up-close look at the Phoenix exoskeleton suit from suitX.

Motiv Robotics’ RoboMantis mobile robot has been designed to perform in an array of environments and to virtually extend a human presence into inhospitable places.  The hybrid mobility system integrates both wheeled and quadrupedal locomotion modalities allowing the robot to traverse practically any terrain efficiently.

Pasadena-based Motiv Robotics is a provider of advanced robotic systems for industrial applications, disaster relief, defense systems and extreme environments.

Harmonic Drive is also very excited have suitX (and their Phoenix exoskeleton) at the CES 2018 booth. The Phoenix exoskeleton is the world’s lightest and most advanced exoskeleton designed to help people with mobility disorders to be upright and mobile. In the clinic, at home, and in the workplace Phoenix has successfully enabled many individuals to stand up, walk about, and speak to peers eye-to-eye.

suitX is a California-based robotics company designing and manufacturing both medical and industrial exoskeletons that address common problems faced by workers and people with gait impairment to improve everyday life.

Harmonic Drive will have several samples of the high-performance gears and actuators on display … and will be previewing ultra-flat actuators suitable for mobile robots and exoskeletons. The manufacturer will also be showcasing new products — including a zero-backlash ultra-flat Harmonic Drive CSF-2UP gearhead. The CSF-2UP mini gearheads are suitable for small robots or manipulators needing an ultra-compact setup.


Harmonic Drive, LLC engineers and manufactures precision servo actuators, gearheads and gear component sets. The majority of the products sold by Harmonic Drive, LLC are proudly made at the manufacturing facility in Peabody, Massachusetts. Harmonic Drive Group Companies in Japan (Harmonic Drive Systems Inc.) and Germany (Harmonic Drive AG) provide additional products. State of the art manufacturing facilities in the US, Japan and Germany enable us to locally serve the needs of the global customers. For more information, visit www.harmonicdrive.net.
