Five ETFs offer top ways to invest in embodied AI, blending robotics hardware and AI software.

The next AI boom is expected in embodied AI—robots and autonomous machines acting in the physical world. Five ETFs provide diversified exposure: BOTZ, ARKQ, and ROBO focus on robotics hardware like industrial automation and sensors, while ROBT and THNQ emphasize AI software and computing. BOTZ is a liquid, concentrated play on industrial automation; ARKQ is an active, high-risk bet with strong Tesla exposure; ROBO offers broad diversification; ROBT balances hardware and software; and THNQ targets AI compute and software. Investors can choose based on risk tolerance and preference for hardware versus software exposure, or combine funds for a balanced portfolio. This theme is a credible long-term opportunity but not without risks.
