Where it fits in the robot
CKD’s actuator range includes rotary, linear, and gripper mechanisms; its FFLD grippers target robot-arm tips with compact integrated control.
What the evidence establishes
Robotics productsCKD documents compact electric grippers and actuators. The source does not establish structural robot links or humanoid hand supply.
A documented robotics component or industrial robot application. Humanoid adoption is not established by the cited source.

Keep in perspective
Factory automation capability is adjacent exposure. A humanoid design win or market-share lead is not established.
Specialist business exposure. This describes the breadth or role of the business; it is not an investment rating. A robotics product or development announcement does not by itself establish material humanoid revenue, market share, or future returns.
Connections to the assembly
These links explain the technology relationship. The model is illustrative and does not represent an actual manufacturer’s bill of materials.
Phalanges & articulated joints
Linked finger segments pivot around pins to conform to an object’s shape.
Scope of the company links: Complete dexterous hands (ROBOTIS, Leadshine) and industrial grippers (SMC, CKD). Industrial grippers are not five-finger humanoid hands.
