Overview

Benmo Technology focuses on core components and robot platforms, building direct‑drive motors, sensors and drives alongside a wheel‑leg robot product line (TITA and M-series variants) for home, commercial, logistics and entertainment markets. The company has a strong R&D orientation, including a motor pre‑research team formed in 2023 that applied Haerbeck array magnetization to its direct‑drive motors, achieving more than 1.5× torque density versus traditional permanent‑magnet motors. Product innovations include compact M07 motors for service and education platforms, straight‑drive motor modules (M0501A/M0502A/M0604A) that cut costs by 50–60% versus traditional motor+gearbox solutions, and battery hot‑swap and Tower accessories that enable 24‑hour operation for TITA robots. Benmo says it will scale commercialization via a newly formed robotics business unit to accelerate a universal wheeled‑leg embodied intelligence platform and deepen industry partnerships and ecosystem build‑out. The company was founded in Hong Kong in 2018, moved operations to the Songshan Lake robotics industrial base in 2020, and is registered in Dongguan; it holds over 240 granted patents. Recent financing will be directed to technology R&D, product innovation, market expansion and automated production to boost delivery capacity and broaden its direct‑drive and robotics market positions.
