The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) is pushing for a national robotics strategy in the US, emphasizing the need for federal support to stay competitive in the global robotics industry.
Industry leaders, including Tesla and Boston Dynamics, are backing the A3's proposal, which includes creating a federal office dedicated to robotics development, offering tax incentives for commercial adoption of robotic systems, and increasing support for academic research and workforce training programs.
The US is currently a leader in AI innovation, but experts warn that without a cohesive national strategy, the country risks losing its edge in the rapidly evolving robotics landscape. A national robotics strategy would help foster innovation, scale production, and cultivate a skilled workforce, ensuring the US remains competitive in the global robotics industry.
