Reshoring Robotics

The Federal Communications Commission this week added foreign-made “advanced robotic devices” to the list of devices it bans from being imported to the U.S. consumers.

This decision bans the import of new Chinese humanoid and quadruped robots. These foreign-made devices could “create supply chain vulnerabilities” or cybersecurity risks, according to the FCC.

From RoboStrategy CEO Andrew Kang:

“If it wasn't clear enough, the USG is putting its full weight behind the domestic robot industry.”

Investment Thesis: Why Standard Bots

Reinventing Robot Arms


621,000 industrial robots were installed in 2025, up 15% on the year, with more than 4.6 million in operation. Arm hardware generates roughly $20 billion a year in revenue. We believe that number badly underplays what comes next.

We led Standard Bots' $200 million Series C because we believe it's the company built to reinvent the robot arm for physical AI and to bring the industry back to America.

Arms often get overlooked, written off as commoditized, but the reality is the opposite: there is an enormous amount of space left for growth and progress.

“People ask if America is losing the robot arms race against China. Arms are the workhorse of automation. They do 90% of automotive welds and stack pallets by the billion. 621,000 were installed last year alone. So… does the US have a leading supplier?”

“The best favor you can do for yourself is to learn about the history of robots, how they are designed, and how that design is evolving to enable these machines to be intelligent.”

RoboStrategy, Inc. is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. FP Strategies LLC serves as the Fund's investment adviser. An investment in RoboStrategy is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. You should purchase shares only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment.

RoboStrategy is a recently formed fund with a limited operating history and invests in a concentrated portfolio of private and public companies in the robotics and embodied artificial intelligence sectors. Investments in private companies entail limited publicly available information, illiquidity, valuation uncertainty, and the risk that the companies may never have a liquidity event. The Fund is non-diversified, which means its performance may be more volatile than that of a diversified fund and may be materially affected by adverse developments in a single industry or issuer. The Fund may use leverage, which can magnify both gains and losses.

Closed-end funds differ from open-end funds in that they do not redeem shares at the request of investors. No shareholder has the right to require the Fund to redeem its shares. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value ("NAV"), and there is no assurance that an active public market for the Fund's shares will develop or be sustained. Shares may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. NAV is calculated by dividing total net assets by total shares outstanding; the market price of the Fund's shares, once listed, will be determined by supply and demand and may differ materially from NAV. The majority of the Fund's investments are in private companies for which market quotations are not readily available and are valued at fair value pursuant to procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Directors; such valuations are inherently subjective.

The Fund does not anticipate paying distributions on a regular basis or becoming a predictable distributor of dividends. The Fund will not qualify as a regulated investment company for its initial taxable year ending August 31, 2026 and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a C-corporation for that period; the Fund intends to elect and qualify as a regulated investment company for subsequent taxable years. Investors should consult their own tax advisors.

This website may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties; actual results may differ materially. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Performance information of FP Strategies LLC or its principals, where presented, is not the performance of RoboStrategy and may differ materially in objective, portfolio composition, leverage, fees, and market environment.

This website is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities; any such offer will be made only by means of the prospectus. Investors should carefully consider the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing.
