T-Motor
朗宇科技
high-torque brushless motors originally for multirotor UAVs, now widely adopted in legged-robot direct-drive joints; AK-series robotics BLDC lineup with integrated encoder + CAN driver; broad English distributor network. **NOT a military drone specialist:** their headline market is civil/consumer multirotor + robotics education; excluded from the stream's dual-use ban on that basis.
