### @HARMONIC — Open — unresolved
We see pressure to commoditize reducers, so we are moving up the value chain, shifting from selling reducers alone to higher‑value‑added actuators with built‑in drivers that can serve as a platform for all axes, so customers need not design reducers and motors from scratch. We target substantial output in about 1.5 years, and we are also developing an ultra‑compact gearbox dexterous hand with Minebea Mitsumi, shown at CES 2026. Whether this added value holds as challengers narrow the precision gap remains an open question we flag.
