JTEKT supplies thin-section bearings for robot reduction gears under the Koyo brand, a component in the joints of robots including humanoids.
JTEKT is a TSE-listed Toyota-group bearing and steering maker that established a robotics division in 2025, targeting 500,000 units a year of crossed-roller bearings (the type harmonic reducers require, an estimated 14-20 per humanoid). It is the second Japanese bearing giant restructuring around humanoid joints (after NSK-NTN), with the Toyota-group channel implying an eventual Toyota-humanoid supply position. Robotics revenue, humanoid design wins, and current financials are not established (verified-light).
