MinebeaMitsumi to Exhibit at Humanoid EXPO, Showcasing Robot Hand

On October 28, 2026, MinebeaMitsumi announced that it would exhibit at Humanoid EXPO, which will be held at Makuhari Messe for three days, from November 11 to 13, 2026. The exhibit will include a live demonstration of a robot hand for humanoid robots that the company unveiled at CES 2026 in January 2026. It will also showcase the company’s ultra-precision components that support parts corresponding to a robot’s joints, muscles and nerves.

MinebeaMitsumi says it will exhibit not only a robot hand but also ultra-precision components that support parts corresponding to joints, muscles and nerves. For robot developers, a key point to watch is whether the company’s offering of components from “sensing” to “drive” will come with specific specifications or examples of integration with robotic platforms.

The exhibit will focus not on complete robots or deployment services, but on a hand and the components that support various parts of a robot. The company plans to demonstrate a robot hand already unveiled at CES 2026; this is different from an announcement of a new product or the start of mass production. Therefore, the exhibit will show how MinebeaMitsumi presents its components as a group, not the performance of a complete robot or whether the components have been adopted. The company says it will showcase ultra-precision components supporting parts corresponding to joints, muscles and nerves, and that it can offer products from “sensing” to “drive.” This can be read as an effort to sell across component categories that affect robot motion. However, the available information does not specify individual components, how they connect to the hand or which robots they are designed for. Assembling components and achieving control, durability and task accuracy across a complete robot are separate validation challenges; the points of integration will be a focus of the live demonstration. A robot deployment plan by a new company established by KDDI and ELYZA, which we reported on, covered a framework linking model development, on-site data collection and robot operations. By contrast, this exhibit presents components that make up a robot, placing the two efforts at different layers of the value chain. The subject also differs from motion management and tracking covered by NTT Docomo’s Physical AI collaboration platform. No products or business relationships linking these efforts have been announced. Future evaluation will hinge on whether specifications such as the hand’s grip force and force sensing are disclosed, how the component lineup is integrated, and whether compatible platforms or applications are identified. The exhibition announcement alone does not establish mass-production capability, operational track records or links to improvements based on field data. It is important to distinguish component-level displays from how much information is provided about implementation in complete robots.

The exhibition will be held as part of NexTech Week 2026 [Autumn]. MinebeaMitsumi says it will present proposals combining its robot hand with its ultra-precision components. According to Robosta, the company’s proposed component range spans “sensing” to “drive.”
