10x revenue in 2026
Several reports this week indicate that individuals familiar with discussions within the Trump administration say administration insiders are interested in supporting the domestic robotics industry. The administration is considering issuing an executive order for the sector next year
A spokesperson for the Department of Commerce was quoted as stating, "We are committed to robotics and advanced manufacturing because they are central to bringing critical production back to the United States." The Department of Transportation is also reportedly involved in the discussions.
