It’ll be a race to the bottom on pricing. Automation will be the vehicle in that race.

The challenges to rebuild the US manufacturing base are vast. It will take time to create clusters of suppliers to support local production. Companies often struggle to hire skilled workers. The clampdown on immigration could tighten the labor market to the point that it slows growth. Also, robots are expensive, require programming and need maintenance. This makes it difficult for small businesses to adopt automation.
Still, the use cases for robotics have been ballooning as the machines become more dexterous. Cameras and sensors allow robots to see and distinguish objects. Machine learning has made them more capable and easier to program.
Mobility is the latest breakthrough and autonomous mobile robots — the squatty machines that can carry pallets, racks and bins — are now common in warehouses. The holy grail for automation is a general-purpose robot that can do multiple tasks with simple instructions. This is the promise that AI brings to robotics, and specifically to humanoid robots — whether on legs or wheels.
