maxon and Pegatron unveil SIMBA II quadruped collaboration
maxon and Pegatron introduced a robotics collaboration at COMPUTEX 2026 built around SIMBA II and the HEJ 90 integrated joint system.
Why it matters
Pegatron's launched SIMBA II quadruped uses maxon's HEJ 90 integrated joint system, and the companies describe an ongoing robotics collaboration.
Evidence notes
- SIMBA II integrates HEJ 90, which combines the motor, gearbox and control components in one compact joint module.
- The collaboration pairs maxon’s precision-drive expertise with Pegatron’s system design, integration and scalable manufacturing capabilities.
- Pegatron designed SIMBA II as a modular quadruped with edge-AI compute and configurable sensors or payloads for inspection and industrial-site work.
Company context
Develops high-precision electric motors, actuators, and drive systems used across robotics, aerospace, medical devices, and industrial automation. Maxon is known for its brushless DC motors and motion control systems, including use in NASA space missions and advanced robotic platforms.
