Humanoid Global launches robots for America with Formic
Humanoid Global Highlights Formic’s Role in Launching Robots for America and Announces Leadership and Membership Updates for the U.S. Robotics Coalition
Vancouver, BC & Washington, D.C., July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 highlight recent developments related to Robots for America (“ Robots for America ” or the “ Coalition ”), an industry initiative that was catalyzed by its portfolio company Formic Technologies, Inc. (“ Formic ”), in which Humanoid Global holds a minority equity interest.
Formic, a Robotics‑as‑a‑Service provider focused on accelerating automation adoption among U.S. manufacturers, helped bring together a group of robotics and technology leaders to establish Robots for America as a national coalition dedicated to advancing U.S. robotics deployment policy and strengthening American production competitiveness. The Coalition, which formally launched at the SCSP AI+ Expo in Washington, D.C. in May 2026, unites robotics and AI companies, manufacturers and industry institutions around a shared policy agenda designed to expand responsible deployment of physical AI and automation across U.S. factories, warehouses and industrial facilities.
Since launch, Robots for America has continued to evolve its leadership structure and membership base. The Coalition recently announced the appointment of Dean Banks as Executive Director, reflecting its commitment to combining deep industrial operating experience with technology and policy expertise. Mr. Banks previously served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Tyson Foods and as a Project Founder and Lead at Google, and will be responsible for setting Robots for America’s overall strategy and priorities on robotics policy, as well as serving as its primary spokesperson with legislators, regulators and the press on initiatives such as the proposed National Commission on Robotics Act and the GUARD Act.
Robots for America has also expanded its member base beyond its initial founding participants. In addition to early members such as Formic, Machina Labs, Standard Bots, Dexterity, Path Robotics, Chef Robotics, GrayMatter Robotics, Mytra, Mujin, MFR.IO, CreateMe and the Digital Manufacturing & Cybersecurity Institute, the Coalition has added new members including Viam, Impossible Metals, Cardinal Robotics, Trossen Robotics, the ARM Institute, Ground Control Robotics and Cosmic Robotics. These organizations collectively represent a broad cross‑section of the U.S. robotics ecosystem, spanning industrial automation platforms, advanced manufacturing, materials innovation, humanoid and service robotics, and enabling technologies for physical AI.
The full list of founding members and members is available at robotsforamerica.org/members .
"Other countries are moving fast to support their manufacturing and robotics industries. The U.S. doesn't have that same coordinated push, and every year without one is a year of ground lost,” said Saman Farid, CEO of Formic. “Robots for America isn't a lobbying effort for some future moment. It's a coalition built because the decisions shaping American manufacturing are happening today, and the industry needs a unified voice in the room while those decisions are still being made."
“Formic’s role in helping launch Robots for America highlights the potential impact that our portfolio companies can have beyond individual factory deployments,” said Shahab Samimi, CEO of Humanoid Global. “We believe initiatives like Robots for America, led by industry operators and technologists and now supported by seasoned leadership such as Dean Banks, can help ensure that U.S. policy frameworks keep pace with the reality of physical AI on shop floors and in logistics facilities. From our perspective, this is an encouraging development for the broader humanoid robotics and embodied AI ecosystem, as it aligns commercial adoption with thoughtful policy engagement.”
Humanoid Global previously announced a strategic investment commitment in Formic as part of its mandate to support platforms that accelerate the adoption of autonomous robotics in manufacturing. The Company is not a member of Robots for America and does not direct the Coalition’s activities; however, it views the initiative as consistent with its long‑term thesis that coordinated industry and policy efforts will be necessary to unlock widescale deployment of humanoid robotics, service robotics and orchestration technologies across key industrial markets.
