NSK is contributing its precision-parts technology to the joint development and testing of humanoid robot components with Atom, including components relevant to robotic motion and actuation.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
NSK is a Japanese bearing and actuation maker (TSE:6471) that established a Robotics Business Division in March 2026 and announced miniaturized rotary and linear actuators for humanoids, plus a February 2026 design win supplying a third-generation smart joint bearing module (with integrated torque and temperature sensing) to a leading North American humanoid robot company. Its agreed merger with NTN will create the world's largest bearing maker (~$11.1B combined revenue, closing 2027), with both companies naming physical-AI robots as the priority battleground, and it signed a Delta Electronics MOU (May 2026) for joint actuator modules. With more than 70 bearings per humanoid, this is a components-scale play against JTEKT, SKF, and IKO.

Quanzhibo manufactures integrated precision joint modules, the actuators that drive humanoid and embodied-intelligence robots.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Quanzhibo (泉智博) makes integrated joint modules for humanoid and general robots, and the shipment numbers are the reason it scores as highly as it does on deployment and production. In the first half of 2026 cumulative shipments of integrated joint modules passed 120,000 units, with over 60,000 shipped in June alone, the steepest ramp of any component maker in this registry. FY2025 orders exceeded RMB 150 million and 2026 orders are expected to reach several hundred million RMB. In April 2026 its precision joint production base in Wuxi entered production with a planned annual capacity at the million-unit level: an automation rate above 85 percent, a 90-second cycle time per joint module, first-pass qualification stable above 96 percent and product yield at 98 percent. Those are manufacturing figures rather than prototype claims, which is unusual in this segment and is why production scores 5. The investor base is the other signal: Hillhouse and Agibot both backed the company, putting Agibot on the cap table of both this row and Critical Point. Named customers are Leju Robotics, Songyan Dynamics and Galaxea. The company is splitting its footprint by function, keeping Wuxi as the manufacturing base while investing in Beijing and Shenzhen for research and embodied AI commercialisation and in Chongqing for large-scale high-end manufacturing and delivery stability.
