It depends on industrial policy changes, such as support for electric vehicles versus internal combustion engines.</p> <p><strong>Your letter mentions the need for a national robotics strategy, as do A3’s <a href="https://www.automate.org/a3/advocacy-principles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocacy principles</a>.

There should be someone in the government — a “robotics czar” — focused on how robotics, AI, and automation can make America more competitive. It is a priority <a href="https://www.therobotreport.com/robotics-rnd-still-driven-government-support-worldwide-says-ifr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in other countries</a>.</p> <p>If the priority is to create more jobs, then these fit together. One way is to automate; the other is to train the workforce. We have to have more state programs and coordination at the national level.</p> <p><strong>What are A3’s stances on issues like <a href="https://www.therobotreport.com/category/regulatory-compliance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deregulation</a>, tariffs, and tax cuts, which are mentioned in A3’s principles? How might they help or hurt the U.S. robotics industry?</strong></p> <p><strong>Burnstein: </strong>On tariffs, I can’t comment yet. We have an advocacy committee meeting, chaired by Brendan Schulman of Boston Dynamics, in January.</p> <p>On taxes, there should be incentives for companies that automate and expense it upfront.</p> <p>We see a real need for looking at how we speak about automation and robotics. The last <a href="https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/nri-30-national-robotics-initiative-30-innovations-integration/503641/nsf21-559" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Robotics Initiative</a> was during the Obama administration. We can debate about whether investments were too focused on basic research, but coupled with tax incentives, it was a start.</p> <p>As regulations go, there are some that if changed, they could help companies adopt automation. We’d need to explore that more closely, but A3 has pointed out that robots are a job creator, not a destroyer.</p> <p><strong>Now that the elections are over, what’s the status of the <a href="https://roboticscaucus.org/members/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congressional Robotics Caucus</a>? Do you know any incoming members of Congress?</strong></p> <p><strong>Burnstein:</strong> U.S. Representative Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Rep. Robert Latta of Ohio are the co-chairs. I’ve heard that McGovern was very strong about <a href="https://www.massrobotics.org/advancing-robotics-highlights-from-the-congressional-robotics-caucus-briefing-in-dc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wanting</a> the caucus to be more active.</p> <p>I appeared before the Senate AI Caucus, and there’s a growing awareness that AI and robotics go together, so I’m hopeful.</p> <p><strong>Do you expect a response to your letter from the White House?</strong></p> <p><strong>Burnstein: </strong>We got a response that they received it, and I’m hopeful for outreach to work with A3 and other organizations. The National Association of Manufacturers [NAM] sent letters before and <a href="https://nam.org/manufacturers-to-trump-its-time-to-get-to-work-to-address-the-policies-that-will-define-your-administration-32538" target="_blank" rel="noopener">after the election</a>, and a lot of people signed them.</p> <div id="attachment_581699" style="width: 750px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-581699" class="size-large wp-image-581699" src="https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A3_Principles-1024x432.jpg" alt="A3's advocacy principles" width="740" height="312" srcset="https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A3_Principles-1024x432.jpg 1024w, https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A3_Principles-300x127.jpg 300w, https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A3_Principles-150x63.jpg 150w, https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A3_Principles-768x324.jpg 768w, https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A3_Principles-368x155.jpg 368w, https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/A3_Principles.jpg 1194w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /><p id="caption-attachment-581699" class="wp-caption-text">A3’s advocacy principles.

I think there are other like-minded organizations, such as NAM. We want to focus on all industries that robots and automation can assist.</p> <p><strong>How can the robotics industry elevate its profile in Washington?</strong></p> <p><strong>Burnstein: </strong>For the first time, we’ve hired a lobbying group, which will begin on Dec. 1. We think there’s a good opportunity, and both sides of the aisle are interested in the same things: bringing back jobs, keeping the U.S. competitive, and not falling behind in a whole bunch of areas, not just manufacturing.</p> <p><strong>Does A3 have plans to work with other organizations, such as the <a href="https://www.therobotreport.com/tag/arm-institute/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ARM Institute</a> or robotics clusters, to advocate for the industry?</strong></p> <p><strong>Burnstein:</strong> I haven’t seen much activity lately from the <a href="https://www.therobotreport.com/how-the-us-can-remain-competitive-in-global-robotics-industry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Alliance of Robotics Clusters</a>, but there will be coordination with similar groups.</p> <p>As I said, our advocacy committee will meet right before the inauguration. At A3’s <a href="https://www.automate.org/events/business-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Business Forum</a> in January, we may also talk with various groups.</p> <p>Right now, we’re outlining general principles of working with the next administration on taxes, workforce development, and other issues.</p> <p><strong>Editor’s note:</strong> This article has been updated with a link to A3’s <a href="https://www.automate.org/market-intelligence/insights/robot-orders-in-north-america-grow-significantly-in-q3-of-2024-over-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full report</a>, released today.</p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-568305" src="https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/RSE25_728x90_CallforPresentations_Vs1.png" alt="SITE AD for the 2025 Robotics Summit call for presentations." width="728" height="90" /> <a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/call-for-presentations/?utm_source=therobotreport&utm_medium=banner&utm_id=callforpreso" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apply to speak</a>.</p> <hr /> </div>  </div><footer class="entry-footer"></footer></article><div class="author-box"><h4 class="block-header">About The Author</h4><div class="author-box-content"><img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7b33ee3c00b416a55a8340a0567bd848?s=168&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7b33ee3c00b416a55a8340a0567bd848?s=336&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-168 photo' height='168' width='168' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/><h5>Eugene Demaitre</h5><p>Eugene Demaitre is editorial director of the robotics group at WTWH Media.
