Vancouver, BC, July 14, 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 building and accelerating a portfolio of pioneering companies in the humanoid robotics and embodied AI sector, is pleased to announce progress made by MBody AI Corp. ("MBody AI"), a portfolio company in which Humanoid Global holds a minority equity interest.
Since March 2026, MBody AI has continued to advance both its commercial deployment strategy and proposed business combination with Check-Cap Ltd. ("Check-Cap"). On March 26, 2026, Check-Cap announced that MBody AI's successful pilot with a Fortune 500 gaming and hospitality operator had expanded into a multi-property deployment following demonstrated performance in live, high-traffic environments.1 The deployment, which currently represents less than 10% of the operator's national footprint, initially includes autonomous floor-care operations and provides potential opportunities to expand into additional service categories and properties.
On April 30, 2026, Check-Cap reported further progress toward completion of the proposed transaction, announcing that Nasdaq had completed its initial review of the listing application submitted in connection with the merger.2 Check-Cap subsequently responded to all questions included in Nasdaq's Supplemental Information Request Form. The shareholder-approved business combination continues to advance, although completion of the transaction and the commencement of trading remain subject to Nasdaq approval and other customary closing conditions.
"MBody AI's progress reflects the growing commercial demand for proven robotic solutions," said Shahab Samimi, CEO of Humanoid Global. "We believe its expansion with a Fortune 500 operator, alongside continued advancement of the proposed transaction, represents encouraging validation of both the platform and its long-term growth potential."
In June, MBody AI increased its engagement with the investment community through its participation in two investor conferences. Chief Executive Officer John Fowler presented the MBody AI robotics platform at the Planet MicroCap Las Vegas Investor Conference on June 17, 2026, where management also conducted in-person investor meetings, and subsequently participated in virtual one-on-one meetings at the Northland Growth Conference on June 23, 2026.3 These events provided MBody AI with an opportunity to discuss its operating platform, commercial strategy and proposed combination with Check-Cap.
Most recently, on June 29, 2026, Check-Cap announced that MBody AI was expanding its service-robotics footprint from nine to eleven U.S. states through planned launches in California and Florida, while also entering the Canadian market through its first deployment in Ontario.4 The Canadian launch includes a dedicated general manager and a 30-day pilot involving the MBody AI Orchestrator platform and two types of service robots operating in a live commercial environment. Management believes the expansion further demonstrates the platform's ability to support and coordinate robotic operations across new markets, customer locations and use cases.
