Bipartisan Robotics Panel Warns of Widening U.S. Deployment Gap With China

The National Security Commission on Robotics for Advanced Manufacturing reports that while the U.S. leads in robotics technology development, it lags far behind China in deploying and manufacturing robotic systems domestically. The commission highlights a widening gap in robot installations, with China installing nearly ten times more industrial robots than the U.S. in 2025. A final report with recommendations is expected in March 2027.
