US Robotics Coalition Expands: Humanoid Global Highlights Formic's Role

Humanoid Global Holdings Corp. (CSE:ROBO, FWB:0XM1, OTCQB:RBOHF), a publicly traded investment issuer focused on pioneering companies in the humanoid robotics and embodied AI sector, announced recent developments concerning its portfolio company, Formic Technologies Inc., and its significant role in the “Robots for America” coalition. This highlights the growing momentum of a national initiative aimed at advancing U.S. robotics deployment policies and strengthening American production competitiveness.

Formic Technologies, a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) provider dedicated to accelerating automation adoption among U.S. manufacturers, spearheaded the formation of the “Robots for America” coalition. This coalition unites robotics and AI companies, manufacturers, and industry institutions around a shared policy agenda designed to expand the responsible deployment of physical AI and automation across U.S. factories, warehouses, and industrial facilities. The coalition officially launched at the SCSP AI+ Expo in Washington, D.C., in May 2026.

Since its launch, the coalition's leadership structure and membership base have continued to evolve. Notably, Dean Banks, former President and CEO of Tyson Foods and a Project Founder at Google, has been appointed as the Executive Director of “Robots for America.” Mr. Banks will be responsible for setting the coalition's overall strategy and priorities on robotics policy. Saman Farid, CEO of Formic, stated that “Robots for America” is not a lobbying effort for a future moment, but a coalition built because decisions shaping American manufacturing are happening today, and the industry needs a unified voice at the table while those decisions are still being made.

This development holds significant importance for the U.S.'s efforts to bolster its position in industrial automation and robotics. Shahab Samimi, CEO of Humanoid Global, emphasized that Formic’s role in launching “Robots for America” underscores the potential impact their portfolio companies can have beyond individual factory deployments. Samimi added that this initiative aligns with their long-term thesis that coordinated industry and policy efforts are crucial to unlock widespread deployment of humanoid robotics, service robotics, and orchestration technologies across key industrial markets.

Such initiatives to accelerate automation adoption in the U.S. are consistent with the country's goals of enhancing global manufacturing competitiveness and addressing workforce challenges. Legislative proposals, such as the National Commission on Robotics Act introduced by Senators McCormick, Hickenlooper, Young, and Heinrich, also gain prominence in this context. These policies aim to reduce the financial risk of robotic trials, modify the tax treatment of automation, streamline permitting and regulatory approvals, and support workforce development and autonomous logistics.

Market analysts anticipate that initiatives like “Robots for America,” with the involvement of experienced leaders such as Dean Banks, will serve as a significant catalyst for the development of the U.S. robotics and AI ecosystem. In the coming period, the policy frameworks established by this coalition and coordinated industry efforts are expected to lead to a more widespread and effective adoption of automation technologies across the United States. This could also enhance growth potential for investors like Humanoid Global in the sector.
