At RoboBusiness 2026, scheduled for October 20-21 in Santa Clara, California, industry experts will discuss the role of robotics in reshoring production to the U.S. The panel will address how recent policies, including tariffs and FCC import restrictions, may influence manufacturers and robotics suppliers to reshore or expand operations domestically.
The significance of this discussion lies in the current landscape where most industrial automation is produced by foreign-owned companies. The panel will also delve into software advancements, workforce development, and supply chain challenges associated with reshoring, alongside geopolitical and cybersecurity concerns that are driving these efforts.
Key figures in the robotics field, including Michael Bearman from Vecna Robotics, Dr. Henrik I. Christensen from UC San Diego, Dr. Ellie Sakhaee from Google, and Brendan Schulman from Boston Dynamics, will share their insights. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
