YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In 2026, China installs a new industrial robot every two minutes. America installs a fraction of that. The race is not over, but can the U.S. keep up?

In this episode of NYC Innovates, we take a deep dive into Standard Bots, a New York-based startup and currently the biggest American maker of industrial robot arms, is building something the robotics industry has never really attempted: a robot so intuitive that a factory worker with zero technical background can pick it up, program it, and deploy it in a single day.

Backed by Amazon, Samsung, and General Catalyst, and operating inside a vertically integrated production facility that takes raw bars of metal in one end and ships finished robots out the other, Standard Bots is making the case that American manufacturing does not have to lose this race.

The question is whether the US moves fast enough to win it.
