Where it fits in the robot
SMC offers electric and pneumatic grippers with robot-specific integration, giving it an established end-effector product base.
What the evidence establishes
Robotics productsSMC sells electric and pneumatic robot grippers, including elastic fingers. These are industrial end effectors, not five-finger humanoid hands.
A documented robotics component or industrial robot application. Humanoid adoption is not established by the cited source.

Keep in perspective
Most applications are industrial automation and cobots. These products are not a five-finger humanoid hand.
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.
