What if you knew the next big market China will dominate? And what if you could act right now to prevent losing it to China? The next big thing is droids. There are two key drivers for droids. The first is artificial intelligence (AI), where the U.
S. leads in research, chip and systems design, and software applications. AI turns dumb robots into intelligent actors able to perform simple and even complex tasks .
Droids will transform our lives and businesses. The second driver is a problem: Droids require scale-efficient manufacturing of the type the U.S.
no longer does. Droids are the natural evolution of robots, both consumer and industrial, and drones which the U.S.
also does not make at scale. Robots , drones, and droids (DRD) exist on a continuum of size, complexity , and capability with similar inputs. They will be critical to defense, manufacturing, and consumer goods and services with China supporting the industry with significant funding of at least $2.
8 billion . These products have similar inputs, the need for scale manufacturing, and the lowest possible cost. China’s early humanoid droids from companies worldwide showcase vim and vigor among startups and established companies for creating functional and useful robots.
So far, these are “dumb” robots compared to expected capabilities from embedding recent advances in AI; a few examples and Tesla’s . Twitter highlights how far China’s deep supply chain drives a robust industry across a gaggle of companies a.
