KB Asset Management Holds Investment Seminar on Humanoid Robot Industry

KB Asset Management announced on the 3rd that it held an investment seminar on the theme of "Humanoid Robots," which is gaining attention as a global mega trend.

Ahead of the launch of the 'RISE US Humanoid Robot ETF' on the 15th, the seminar was held on the 2nd at Park One Tower in Yeouido, Seoul. It was organized to explore the future of the humanoid robot industry and analyze the growth potential and investment opportunities in the related market. The seminar delved deeply into the differences from the existing robot industry, the technological development directions of major companies, and industry outlooks.

Professor Han Jae-kwon of Hanyang University’s Department of Robotics, who participated as a speaker, said, "Humanoid robots are robots developed to perform various roles by mimicking human physical characteristics," and added, "Recently, with rapid cost reduction and technological advancement, the commercial use of robots is expected to accelerate."

Unlike existing industrial robots that perform specific tasks, humanoid robots are being developed to adapt to various environments and perform diverse roles. Industry experts believe that when two or more hands collaborate, the success rate of tasks increases dramatically, and cooperation among three or more hands will be even more useful in industrial settings.

The seminar introduced the latest research, development trends, and commercial adoption cases of major companies leading the global humanoid robot industry. The use of humanoid robots is expanding across various sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and service industries.

The robot industry is likely to establish itself as a long-term growth theme by combining with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Global companies, including Tesla, are rapidly pushing for commercialization by integrating robots with electric vehicle autonomous driving technology, and similar technological developments are actively underway in China.

No Ah-reum, head of the ETF Business Division at KB Asset Management, said, "The humanoid robot industry, which combines AI and robotics technology, is a mega trend that will innovatively transform the global industrial structure in the future," adding, "We hope that through this seminar, investors can gain a deeper understanding of the humanoid robot market and explore related investment opportunities."
