Read full strategy
Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ) is a passively managed thematic fund issued by Global X, the ETF franchise of Mirae Asset Global Investments. It tracks the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index, a global benchmark of companies involved in industrial robotics, automation, non-industrial robots, and autonomous vehicles. The fund is anchored by Intuitive Surgical and NVIDIA, with additional mapped exposure through Cognex, Alphabet, and Rockwell Automation — a robotics-and-AI lens on the machines, components, and systems bringing intelligence into the physical world. In the PXS map, BOTZ is one of the Physical AI universe's core public-fund expressions, complementing the semiconductor-led coverage (SMH/SOXX) with a robotics-and-automation tilt. Coverage is limited to direct, issuer-reported positions in already-mapped companies, not the complete portfolio, and this is a research map rather than a recommendation. BOTZ is most useful for seeing where a broad robotics-and-AI index intersects the machine's Physical AI research — which mapped automation and embodied-intelligence names carry index weight. Its largest mapped positions are Intuitive Surgical (8.89%), NVIDIA (7.97%), Cognex (2.66%), and Alphabet (2.03%), anchoring the vehicle in surgical robotics and compute rather than a diversified industrial spread.
