Themes ETFs Launches Themes Humanoid Robotics ETF Tracking the Solactive Global Humanoid Robotics Index

Themes ETFs and Solactive announce the introduction of the Themes Humanoid Robotics ETF, which will track the Solactive Global Humanoid Robotics Index. The ETF offers targeted exposure to companies involved in the accelerating adoption of humanoid and service-oriented robots worldwide.

The deployment of artificial-intelligence-enabled robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors to hospitals, warehouses, retail spaces, and private homes. According to a June 2025 analysis published by the World Economic Forum, billions of humanoid robots could be working alongside humans by 2040, transforming industries as diverse as healthcare, public-space maintenance, and personal assistance.¹ At the same time, structural labour shortages and ageing populations in many developed and emerging economies are intensifying demand for automation solutions that combine dexterity, mobility, and cognitive capability.

The Solactive Global Humanoid Robotics Index is designed to capture the full value chain of this structural trend. Using ARTIS®, Solactive’s natural-language-processing technology, the index identifies developed-market, South-Korean, and Chinese companies that generate at least 50 percent of their revenues from activities linked to Humanoid & Service Robotics, Industrial & Autonomous Robotics, Assistive & Wearable Robotics, AI & Cognitive Robotics, Robot Mobility, and Actuation & Mechatronics. Eligible constituents include firms designing human-interactive robots, AI-driven sensing and control platforms, autonomous mobile robots for logistics, wearable exoskeletons supporting mobility and rehabilitation, and the specialised semiconductor and actuator manufacturers that enable next-generation robotic systems. Constituents are selected and weighted according to their ARTIS® relevance scores and capped at 4,5% to promote diversification.

The ETF was listed on August 19, 2025, on Nasdaq with the ticker code “BOTT”.

Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, said: “The convergence of advanced AI, sensor technologies, and lightweight materials is propelling humanoid robotics from science fiction into investable reality. We are proud to partner with Themes and provide the index for this innovative ETF.”

“Humanoid robots are poised to seamlessly integrate into our daily lives, transforming how we work, learn, and connect. As intuitive companions in our day to day lives, this may be the most impactful innovation to the daily lives of human beings,” says Themes’ Chief Revenue Officer, Paul Marino.
