Robostore and the KOID Launch: Why Investment in Humanoids Matters

On June 25, 2025, the Unitree G1 humanoid robot made its way to the NASDAQ stage—not as a novelty, but as a participant. Through a teleoperated sequence, the G1 was used to ring the bell, launching KOID, KraneShares’ ETF focused on the global humanoid and embodied intelligence sector.

Robostore was proud to provide the technology and support to make this moment happen. But beyond the spectacle, this milestone says something much bigger: the world is starting to put real dollars into the future of robotics.

And that matters. Because we’re not just distributing robots—we’re helping build the ecosystem that enables innovation.

Humanoid robotics is still in its infancy. The hardware has rapidly evolved, but the software is still catching up. The tools exist, but the capabilities are still being developed. This is the stage where real experimentation, iteration, and progress happen—but only if the right people have access to the right tools.

That’s where investment comes in. The launch of KOID isn’t just about finance—it’s a signal that there is global recognition of the category’s potential. Investors are now betting that humanoid robotics will be a transformative force in industry, healthcare, logistics, and daily life.

But funding alone doesn’t move the needle—accessibility does.
That’s why at Robostore, our mission is to make advanced robotics hardware more accessible to the people who need it most: developers, educators, research teams, and innovators on the front lines. When more teams can access this technology, more breakthroughs happen. And when those breakthroughs happen, the entire field moves forward.

We're proud to work with leading partners like Unitree and support landmark moments like the KOID ETF launch. But we're even more proud to support the everyday builders, testers, and thinkers who are turning humanoid robotics from concept into capability.

This isn’t the finish line. It’s the beginning of something much bigger.
