About
About Huayan Robotics
Huayan’s established portfolio centres on Elfin collaborative arms and larger S-series industrial platforms. Elfin models cover compact assembly, inspection and machine tending, while S-series arms extend payload and reach for palletising and heavier handling. Echo and HY seven-axis arms provide human-like kinematic redundancy for humanoid or service systems, supported by the company’s integrated joint modules.
STAR combines a mobile base with a collaborative arm, vision and navigation for work across several production stations. Huayan supplies robot hardware, controllers, programming tools and application integration through distributors and internal engineering teams. Formerly Han’s Robot, the company adopted the Huayan identity and listed in Hong Kong in 2026 while retaining its established Elfin product lineage.
