“We have seen what happens if we let China win in the semiconductor space. We can't do that with robotics. We need to have a concerted effort to protect our IP, to make sure that we are bringing manufacturing of this ecosystem into the United States or into our allied countries. And that means we need to take our national robotics strategy.”
