Federal agencies would boost US robotics, creating jobs and new tech for industries like elder care.
This bill would direct federal agencies to help grow the robotics industry in the United States. It would lead to new standards, training programs for workers, and reports on how companies are using robots. This aims to create jobs and bring new robotic solutions to industries like mining, food processing, and elder care.
Today, there are no specific federal rules for agencies like NIST to actively support robotics development or for the Commerce Department to report on robotics adoption. NASA also doesn't prioritize sharing its robotics inventions with private companies for domestic industry. If this bill passes, NIST would identify barriers and promote robotics use, and the Commerce Department would report annually on robotics adoption for five years. NASA would also prioritize licensing its robotics innovations to private companies to boost American robotics manufacturing.
