What is the Partnership for Robotics Competitiveness?
The Partnership for Robotics Competitiveness is a coalition convened by AUVSI to advance U.S. leadership in robotics and embodied AI through coordinated federal policy, strategic investment, and industry engagement.
How is this different from general AI policy?
Robotics and embodied AI operate in the physical world and integrate hardware, software, sensing, and actuation. These systems raise distinct policy, safety, supply-chain, and security considerations that are not addressed by software-only AI policy.
Why does the United States need a National Robotics Strategy?
A National Robotics Strategy would align fragmented federal efforts, accelerate deployment, strengthen domestic manufacturing, and ensure the U.S. remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global technology landscape.
How does this relate to the Partnership for Drone Competitiveness?
The Partnership for Robotics Competitiveness builds on the same coalition-driven model, expanding it to address the broader robotics and embodied AI ecosystem across industrial, commercial, and defense applications.
Who can participate in the Partnership?
Participation is open to companies, organizations, and stakeholders committed to strengthening U.S. leadership in robotics, including developers, manufacturers, users, researchers, and policymakers.
How can organizations get involved?
Organizations can engage by joining the Partnership, contributing policy input, participating in advocacy efforts, and collaborating on initiatives that advance shared competitiveness goals.
