Humanoid Global Reports Progress on Cartwheel Robotics’ Flagship Humanoid Yogi
Vancouver, BC & Reno, Nevada, Oct. 16, 2025 (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, announces an update from Cartwheel Robotics Inc. (“Cartwheel Robotics”).
Cartwheel Robotics is developing “Yogi,” an embodied AI platform designed to move naturally, respond intuitively, and bring a lifelike, approachable presence to everyday environments. Built with medical-grade silicone and protective soft materials for comfort and safety, Yogi combines precision-engineered high-torque actuators with overload protection and a modular, swappable battery system, enabling reliable and extended daily operation.
“Cartwheel Robotics is developing humanoids designed for genuine human connection,” said Shahab Samimi, CEO of Humanoid Global. “By emphasizing trust, functionality, and usability, they’re helping advance the field from mechanical experimentation toward practical human interaction. With a team that has contributed to several generations of humanoid systems, we believe that Cartwheel Robotics is well positioned to help shape the next generation – bringing robotics into homes, workplaces, and entertainment.”
Cartwheel Robotics’ recent progression work on Yogi includes the development of a proprietary full-stack humanoid platform that integrates custom hardware, AI models, motion systems, and software. To support scaled development and testing, the company is expanding its operations to Reno, Nevada, where construction of its Oddie facility is underway and expected to be completed January 2026.
“We believe the best way to bring humanoid technology into everyday life is by building robots that move, respond, and connect in a genuinely human way,” said Scott LaValley, CEO of Cartwheel Robotics. “Yogi is being developed not only as a companion but also as a capable assistant for light tasks in homes and workplaces, designed to remain intuitive, approachable, and reliable. This approach supports broader adoption and reflects our goal of creating humanoid AI that enhances how people live, work, and care for one another.”
Cartwheel Robotics is also exploring healthcare applications for Yogi, including preliminary discussions with a leading North American medical institution regarding a potential co-development project and pilot. The company has additionally received letters of interest from several universities across North America to support research and testing collaborations.
To fund engineering, hardware production, and continued full-stack development, Cartwheel Robotics has initiated a Seed financing round. The company is targeting the debut of a full-body walking prototype of Yogi at the Humanoid Summit in December 2025.
