Realbotix ($XBOT | $XBOTF) CEO Discusses AI Humanoid Robots and Commercial Growth

Andrew Kiguel's takeaways

• Top takeaway Expects the subsidiary's NASDAQ listing via the OnContax transaction to close in the second half of 2026, arguing it could make Realbotix the first pure-play robotics company on the NASDAQ and attract ETF and specialty-fund attention, with a goal of having a robot open the market this fall.
• Argues most robotics investment is chasing industrial labor robots while the larger opportunity is the service sector — about 70% of the workforce is non-physical — which he calls a trillion-dollar opportunity for social robots.
• Points to new eldercare and education deals as commercial traction: an agreement with Bloom Services in the UK to pilot robots in retirement homes, and a first-of-its-kind deployment with the Salamanca School District in Upstate New York, with plans to reach about 500 high school students this fall.
• Claims Realbotix trades at about a $50 million valuation as of the July 2026 interview — a large discount to other robot companies in his view — and says he believes it can become a billion-dollar company.
• Describes a multi-stream revenue model of $12,000-$150,000 robots plus monthly AI fees, hardware sales and maintenance plans, with a lower-priced 'Echo' robot line expected within weeks of the interview.
