The development of NEVs is driving lightweight materials toward higher performance and greater efficiency. Now, the rapid growth of the humanoid robot industry is also prompting automotive material enterprises to focus on new application directions.
What new requirements do robots have for lightweight materials?
Which mature automotive material systems can be directly applied to robots?
What new application opportunities will emerge for materials such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and composites?
How should automotive supply chain enterprises plan ahead to enter the robot industry chain?
These questions are becoming the focus of attention for an increasing number of material enterprises and R&D teams.
From September 10 to 11, ASCC2026·SMM (8th) Automotive Supply Chain Conference will invite IRON humanoid robot material expert Huang Jiaqi to deliver a keynote presentation titled “Automotive & Humanoid Robot Lightweighting Challenges and Material Selection Analysis.”
Dr. Huang Jiaqi graduated from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology and previously served as Director of the Materials Department at JAC Group and XPeng Motors, with long-term research on automotive materials and lightweighting technologies and extensive experience in developing and applying NEV materials.
He currently serves as Distinguished Expert at the National Industrial Energy Conservation and Green Development Evaluation Center, Expert for National High-tech Enterprise (New Materials) Evaluation, Expert for Unified Local Standards in the Yangtze River Delta Region of Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation (Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection), Evaluation Expert for Manufacturing Strong Province Projects of Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology and Anhui Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology (NEV), and also Secretary General of the Anhui Composite Materials Industry Association.
In this presentation, he will combine automotive industry lightweighting practices and revolve around the similarities and differences in material applications between automobiles and humanoid robots, lightweight material selection strategies, and future development directions to exchange ideas, offering valuable industry insights for material enterprises, processing enterprises, and vehicle R&D teams.
For conference attendance and inquiries, contact Manager Jiang at 13258390905 (same number on WeChat).
