<aside> 🤖 Official Episode 2 sleeve

Humanoid robotics is capped at 10% of the $100,000 paper book and limited to 5 positions. Every name is a picks-and-shovels play: no robot OEMs, no duplicate filler, no Tokyo-only tickers in the official open sleeve.

Final Basket — 5 Positions Max

• SMCAY — 2.50% — Hands / Dexterity: grippers, actuators, end-effectors and factory automation hardware.
• NOVT — 2.00% — Actuators / Motion: precision motion, encoders, force/torque sensing and robotics subsystems.
• CGNX — 2.00% — Sensors / Perception: machine vision and robot guidance/inspection.
• ON — 1.75% — Power / Semis: motor-control, power-management and semiconductor sockets across robot joints.
• NDSN — 1.75% — Automation / Controls: precision dispensing, adhesives, sealants and coatings used in robotic production lines.

Script Hook

Everyone is staring at the humanoid robot. I’m looking at the parts inside the robot.

Methodology

Each sector gets a hard cap of 5 positions. For humanoid robotics, the sector sleeve is 10% of the paper book. Weights reflect thesis purity, public accessibility, liquidity, volatility, drawdown risk, and catalyst quality.

Unique Catalyst Discipline

• SMCAY: gripper/actuator product momentum and end-effector design wins.
• NOVT: precision motion / force-sensing / robotics OEM design wins.
• CGNX: machine-vision order recovery and robot-guidance adoption.
• ON: motor-control / power design wins and industrial inventory normalization.
• NDSN: dispensing/adhesive demand from automated manufacturing capex.

Unique Invalidation Discipline

• SMCAY fails if gripper/end-effector demand does not turn into orders.
• NOVT fails if robotics design wins do not appear or motion-control growth stalls.
