Why the Unitree G1 on the NYSE Marks a Turning Point for Robotics Investment

RoboStore recently joined our partners at KraneShares on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to showcase KOID, a Unitree G1 humanoid robot. KOID isn’t just a breakthrough in robotics — it’s also the ticker symbol of KraneShares’ ETF built to invest in embodied intelligence and humanoid robotics.


Watch RoboStore founder Teddy Haggerty and KraneShares’ Derek Yan sit down with Schwab Network host Sam Vadas to discuss capitalizing on robotics with KOID and investing in the future of evolving tech.

Placing a Unitree G1 on the NYSE trading floor wasn’t just a demonstration. It was a milestone. For the first time, a humanoid robot stood alongside the world’s largest financial institutions, representing the growing belief that robotics is not only a technological breakthrough but an investment opportunity shaping the next decade.

The KOID ETF is designed to give investors a way to participate in this shift. By tying the robot itself to the fund’s ticker, KraneShares created a powerful symbol of where markets are headed. Investors are betting big on humanoids, and the Unitree G1 — standing in the center of Wall Street — embodied that conviction.

At RoboStore, we see the same future the markets are signaling. Robotics is no longer confined to research labs. It’s moving into classrooms, workplaces, and industries worldwide. The presence of the G1 at the Exchange was a reminder that this is the moment where innovation and capital align.

For those already building in this space, it confirms what we’ve known all along: robotics is the future. For those still on the edge, it’s proof that the movement is real — and accelerating. The Unitree G1 on the trading floor was more than a headline. It was a turning point for robotics investment.
