US EditionRobotics firms lobby Congress
- On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, American robotics companies, including Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and Agility Robotics, met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to showcase their products and advocate for policies to boost the U.S. Robotics industry in the global race to develop the next generation of robots.
- The push for a national robotics strategy, including the establishment of a federal office dedicated to promoting the robotics industry, stems from increasing global competition, particularly from China, which is making intelligent robots a national priority and has become the world's largest market for industrial robots, with approximately 1.8 million units operating in 2023.
- This strategy aims to address the fact that the U.S. Ceded its early lead in industrial robotics to Japan and Europe and now faces a rapidly advancing China, which has approved a $138 billion state-backed venture capital fund focused on robotics and AI and is positioning humanoid robots as a frontier technology.
- Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi stated that without leadership, the U.S. Will lose the robotics race, emphasizing the need to maintain innovation and entrepreneurship, while Apptronik CEO Jeff Cardenas believes the next robotics race will be powered by AI and is 'anybody's to win', and that 'humanoids are going to play a big role both practically and in capturing the imagination of the public'.
- While some, like Gartner analyst Bill Ray, express skepticism towards humanoid robots, finding them impractical and preferring 'polyfunctional robots', analysts warn that U.S. Companies risk losing out to China, and SemiAnalysis suggests U.S. Players must rapidly mobilize a strong manufacturing and industrial base to catch up, potentially reducing reliance on China for components.
