What Humanoid Global does

Humanoid Global Holdings Corp. (CSE:ROBO, OTCQB:RBOHF, FRA:0XM1) is a publicly traded investment issuer that deploys long-term, actively managed capital across the humanoid robotics and embodied AI value chain. The entity, formerly New Wave Holdings Corp., rebranded effective June 25, 2025, to focus exclusively on the global humanoid robotics sector after pivoting away from prior E-sports, AI, blockchain, and Web3 exposures. Headquartered in Vancouver and Toronto, the 1-10-employee firm maintains minority equity positions in early- to commercial-stage humanoid manufacturers, software developers, and hardware enablers across North America, Europe, and Asia, addressing investors seeking public-market exposure to a category framed by Morgan Stanley at a $60 trillion total addressable market.

The company does not develop proprietary technology; its substantive holdings comprise seven disclosed portfolio companies spanning complementary layers of the humanoid stack — Agility Robotics (Digit platform, surpassed 100,000 commercial tote movements), Cartwheel Robotics (Yogi embodied AI platform), Apptronik (Apollo humanoid), Formic Technologies (Robotics-as-a-Service, 1.2B+ products packed/stacked at ~99% uptime), HowToRobot Holding (global automation marketplace transitioning to SaaS), RideScan (AI safety/anomaly-detection with a patent-pending UK filing), and MBody AI (autonomous robotics). The portfolio is stage-agnostic from R&D to commercial, and advisory depth comes from a Technical Advisory Committee including Boston Dynamics CSO Marc Theermann alongside academics from the University of Waterloo and Simon Fraser University, plus an Investment Advisory Board featuring Noetix Robotics CEO Shipu Zhang and Formic CEO Saman Farid.

Humanoid Global generates no disclosed operating revenue; its income model centers on capital appreciation of equity stakes, advisory income from active portfolio oversight, and future portfolio exits. Capital formation has totalled approximately $5.15 million through two 2025 non-brokered private placements ($3.15M in July 2025 at $0.30/unit; $2.00M in October 2025 at $0.80/warrant) alongside ~$540K in disclosed portfolio deployment and ~$740K in marketing commitments to Gold Standard Media and Investor Insights Systems. Investor reach is delivered via CSE, OTCQB, and Frankfurt listings, GlobeNewswire distribution, and the corporate website (humanoidglobal.ai), with a 2026 capital deployment strategy signaling a future pivot toward strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, and operating presence within the humanoid robotics value chain.

Direct peers

• ROBO Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF: The original publicly traded thematic vehicle for global robotics and automation. While structured as a passive ETF rather than an active investment issuer, ROBO offers investors liquid exposure to the same robotics value chain that Humanoid Global targets, and is the most direct comparable for public-market investors choosing between the two.
• Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ): One of the largest and most liquid thematic ETFs covering global robotics and AI companies, including exposure to humanoid-enabling technologies like automation, sensors, and AI. Directly competes with Humanoid Global as a public-market vehicle for robotics/AI exposure, though passive versus active.
• ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (ARKQ): Actively managed thematic ETF focused on autonomous technology, robotics, 3D printing, and energy storage. ARKQ's active approach and disruption-oriented thesis most closely mirrors Humanoid Global's active-management style, and it competes for the same thematic investor dollar.
• iShares Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (IRBO): BlackRock's global robotics and AI ETF providing diversified exposure to companies across the robotics value chain. Directly comparable to Humanoid Global's investment universe at the public-market vehicle level.
• First Trust Nasdaq Artificial Intelligence and Robotics ETF (ROBT): Thematic ETF tracking the Nasdaq CTA Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Index. Provides diversified public-market exposure to AI and robotics companies globally and competes with Humanoid Global for the same investor base seeking thematic robotics exposure.

Emerging players

• Defiance Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence ETF: Newer thematic ETF provider with focused AI and machine learning products. While not a pure robotics play, it represents the expanding universe of thematic public vehicles competing for investor attention and capital in the AI/robotics convergence space.
• Tema ETFs — Robotics & Automation: Smaller thematic ETF sponsor with focused robotics and automation products. Represents the growing fragmentation of the thematic robotics investment space, increasing competition for Humanoid Global's differentiated active-management approach.
• Hutt Capital: Thematic private equity firm focused on robotics, automation, and AI investments. Operates in the same investment thesis space as Humanoid Global but with private fund structure rather than public listing — comparable as a competing capital source for robotics startups.

Broad incumbents

• SoftBank Group Corp. Vision Fund parent and one of the largest and most influential technology investors globally with major humanoid robotics exposure through SoftBank Robotics (Pepper) and portfolio companies. While not a pure-play public vehicle for robotics, it represents the incumbent scale investor that shapes humanoid robotics valuations and deal flow.

Regional players

• Hony Capital: Leading China-focused private equity firm under Legend Holdings with active robotics and AI investment activity. Comparable to Humanoid Global as a thematic PE investor, but with a regional (Greater China) focus and access to domestic Chinese humanoid robotics companies that Western investors cannot reach.
