HowToRobot powers AutomationFinder platform for Robotics Australia Group

Vancouver, British Columbia, Sept. 17, 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 humanoid robotics and embodied AI, notes the launch of AutomationFinder.com.au by Robotics Australia Group ("RAG"), Australia's national peak body for robotics, automation and physical AI. The platform is powered by HowToRobot, a Humanoid Global portfolio company. Humanoid Global holds a minority equity interest in HowToRobot through its US$75,000 participation in HowToRobot's Series A financing, announced on February 26, 2026. Humanoid Global also serves on HowToRobot's advisory board pursuant to a two-year advisory agreement under which it provides strategic advice to HowToRobot for no monetary compensation. Humanoid Global does not control or operate HowToRobot and is not a party to the arrangement between HowToRobot and RAG. RAG launched AutomationFinder.com.au on September 1, 2026 as a vendor-neutral platform intended to help Australian businesses identify automation opportunities, prepare supplier-ready project briefs, assess feasibility and cost, compare potential solutions and connect with automation providers. According to RAG, the platform draws on more than 600 real automation projects and combines HowToRobot's technology and methodology, including its global network of more than 20,000 automation suppliers, of which up to 500 are in Australia, with RAG's industry knowledge, relationships and local reach. RAG has described the partnership as HowToRobot's first country-wide licensed deployment. "We believe a national licence is a meaningful step for HowToRobot," said Sunny Ray, Chief Executive Officer of Humanoid Global. "Helping a business work out what is worth automating, and who can deliver it, is often the hardest part of adoption. We're glad to support the HowToRobot team as an investor and advisor."
