This week’s robot updates aren’t demos—they’re deployed.

Robot arms are learning by watching, not coding. Humanoids are clocking in at shipyards. And U.S. factories are scaling fast to meet demand.

China may lead in raw numbers, but the American robot race is officially on.

1. 🤖America Eyes a Robot Revolution

Robot sales are soaring—even as car sales slump.

Factories are doubling down on automation, and the U.S. is finally ramping up robot use in food, pharma, and consumer goods. But here's the twist: most of those 13,700 robots still come from overseas.

China’s installing 280,000 robots a year. The U.S.? Still playing catch-up.

This isn’t just about car factories anymore. It’s about reshaping the future of American manufacturing. Maybe it’s time to invest in building the bots, not just buying them.

2. 🦾 Standard Bots' New Arm Could Make Manual Programming Obsolete

Standard Bots just unveiled a robot arm that can lift 30 kilos, reach 2 meters, and learn tasks by simply watching you work—no coding required.

Built for heavy-duty roles in cars, planes, and logistics, it’s powered by NVIDIA AI and made in the U.S. Demand’s so strong, they’ve already doubled their New York factory.

This isn’t just smarter automation. It’s a step toward replacing manual programming entirely.

3. 🚢 Persona AI Brings Humanoids to the Shipyard

Persona AI is sending humanoid robots into shipyards and factories—built for the heavy, dirty, dangerous jobs humans shouldn’t have to do.

They’re tackling labor shortages with a robot-as-a-service model, so companies can rent muscle instead of buying fleets.

This isn’t sci-fi. It’s steel beams and sweat. And it’s starting with shipbuilding.
