For months, the Trump administration has been thundering about America’s artificial Intelligence (AI) revival. But now, the spotlight is swiveling to a new space – robotics. The shift did not come with fanfare, just a steady drumbeat of meetings between Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and the country’s biggest robotics founders. Those conversations, insiders say, are laying the groundwork for a potential executive order that could ignite a full-scale national robotics push.
Agencies are scrambling to align. The Department of Transportation (DOT) is prepping a robotics working group, congressional committees are drafting policy experiments, and industry lobbyists are urging Washington to match China’s breakneck pace. Even the market felt the tremor, and U.S. robotics-related stocks soared recently as investors sensed a big push toward automation on the horizon.
