Humanoid robots went from science projects to one of the hottest themes in the market. Automakers, AI labs and startups are racing to build robots that can walk factory floors and work alongside people, and fund companies followed. There are now 7 humanoid robot ETFs on our list.

What these funds actually own
Very few public companies sell humanoid robots in volume today. So most humanoid ETFs fill their portfolios with the supply chain: makers of actuators and harmonic reducers, precision bearings, motion sensors, batteries, vision systems and the AI chips that run robot brains. Many of those suppliers sit in Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan.
That means a humanoid ETF today is partly a bet on robots and partly a bet on industrial components and AI hardware. If humanoids scale the way supporters expect, these suppliers could benefit early. If they do not, the funds still own real businesses, but the theme premium can fade.

Humanoid ETFs vs. classic robotics ETFs
Classic robotics funds like $BOTZ and $ROBO own the companies already selling industrial robots, surgical systems and factory automation. They have years of history and billions in assets. Humanoid funds are narrower and newer. Some investors pair one of each. Either way, compare fees, size and holdings before buying, and remember nothing here is a recommendation.
