Humanoid Global Announces Commitment to a Strategic Investment in Apptronik, a Leader in AI Robotics and Human-Centered Design
October 6, 2025
Humanoid Global Holdings Corp. (“Humanoid Global” or the “Company”) (CSE:ROBO, FWB:0XM1, OTCQB:RBOHF), a publicly traded investment issuer focused on building and accelerating a portfolio of pioneering companies in the humanoid robotics and embodied AI sector, is pleased to announce that it has committed to an indirect strategic investment of US$ 64,500 into Apptronik, Inc. (“Apptronik”) via a private undisclosed fund that holds shares of Apptronik, and awaits capital statement.
Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company that develops AI-powered robots to support humanity across various areas of life. Its award-winning, flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is designed to collaborate thoughtfully with humans, empowering and transforming the way we work. Apollo is already being tested in manufacturing and logistics operations at a well-established European car manufacturer and has partnerships with a notable AI research laboratory to continue to drive its commercialization. Apptronik also has plans to expand into retail, healthcare, and home applications.
“We expect that humanoid–human collaboration will be the cornerstone of this industry’s success and its transformative potential. What sets Apptronik apart is its commitment to human-centered design, built on years of expertise. This philosophy puts the human experience first, a priority that we believe is far more important now than in traditional automation. By taking a consultative, flexible approach, Apptronik aims to provide an alternative to rigid, systems-level design strategies and advance the true potential of human-humanoid work,” said Shahab Samimi, CEO of Humanoid Global.
Human-centered design is an approach to innovation that begins with the needs, experiences, and limitations of people, and builds solutions around them, rather than forcing humans to adapt to technology.
Apptronik was founded in 2016 as a spinout from the University of Texas Human Centered Robotics Lab and has focused on developing a range of robotic systems, leading to the creation of Apollo. This year, Apollo was recognized by Fast Company’s 2025 Innovation by Design Award, after being named to the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50 and Automotive News All-Stars lists.
On March 18, 2025, Apptronik announced the close of its oversubscribed $403 million Series A round led by a consortium of prominent venture capital and technology firms, with participation from new strategic investors and industry partners.
The investment has not yet been completed and remains subject to customary closing conditions. The Company will provide additional details regarding the investment and the fund in a future news release.
