The United States currently lacks a robust domestic supply chain capable of producing critical machine components essential for humanoid robots, potentially hampering the nation's competitiveness in the emerging humanoid-robotics industry. Experts warn that while humanoid robots hold transformative potential across multiple sectors, the U.S. cannot rely on domestic production for a key part category. The gap underscores broader concerns about America's industrial capacity and supply-chain resilience in advanced manufacturing and cutting-edge robotics.
