Resolved Motion is reshoring a domestic robotic actuator supply. We manufacture NDAA-compliant, dual-use actuators in Upstate New York solely for robotics.

It’s really simple. Our Robots and AI vs their Robots and AI. If we can catch up on robotics/software , and can stay ahead on AI, there is zero reason manufacturing won’t come back, or initiate here.
At Cost Plus Drugs, the only thing holding us back from making generic drugs cheaper in Dallas than we can buy from Asia, are the fees we have to pay.

Palmer Luckey says companies are exaggerating the cost of American manufacturing to justify staying in China: “They don’t want to admit that it is a choice.” 🇺🇸🇨🇳
“I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who pretend that manufacturing in the U.S. is this impossible, order-of-magnitude problem. A lot of it is very self-serving.
They want to justify why they’re in China. They want to justify why it’s OK for them to stay in China. They know that when sanctions hit as a result of a potential Taiwan conflict, they want to say, ‘Nobody could’ve predicted this, and I had no choice anyway.’
They don’t want to admit that it is a choice.
If Chinese subsidized steel is a third of the price of American unsubsidized steel, a tariff isn’t going to work. But if the price difference really is 30%, then a tariff could bring the American steel industry back.
It’s critically important to get this question right, and there aren’t enough people talking about it.”

US Army is field-evaluating humanoid robots for high-risk missions
At Marine Corps Base Quantico (Sept 9–10), the Army ran xTechHumanoid finals. Nine teams demonstrated tech; five winners were picked. The only full platform among them is Alex from IHMC.
In the footage, Alex walked through wooded and rough grassy terrain and was shown handling a shovel for digging... basic outdoor mobility and tool use under field conditions.
Alex--179 cm, ~85 kg, 29 joints, custom high-power backdrivable quasi-direct-drive actuators. Specs--1.5+ m/s, 2+ hr battery, 15+ kg continuous payload. Impact-resilient actuators + some ballistic protection, hybrid AI + human supervision.
The Army’s goal is reduce soldier exposure to dangerous, high-physical-demand tasks-- not field robot soldiers. They’re also looking at power systems, tactile sensors, and command software that turns commander intent into robot actions. Power and control still look like bigger bottlenecks than walking.
---
Even so, I’d rather see platforms like this used for field exploration and extreme-environment scientific work --so researchers don’t have to be on site themselves.

Thriving component businesses will enable technological giants but also enable entrepreneurship and experimenters. Ecosystems flourish with a healthy stream of inputs and nutrients that can be combined into thousands of different flowers

A lot of people are talking about "scaling up" our domestic industrial base.
But it's not just # of machines or automation
It's WORKING CAPITAL
Adding machines and automation is EASY
Accommodating 10x more working capital needs.... not so much.
Revenue Does Not Equal Cash

The U.S. Army picked the winners of a humanoid robot contest. One of them, a robot called Alex, has ballistic protection and joints built to take hits. The goal: keep soldiers out of the most dangerous jobs.

I dream of the day when Valar Atomics Gigasites are the cheapest and fastest way to bring a new power intensive factory online
Every day we get closer to this

Rare earths aren't actually rare, they're as abundant as copper. What's scarce is the ability to purify them, and that's what China controls: over 90% of it.
@maglutheavy founders are borrowing a technique from biotech to modernize rare earth purification. S3 went inside their lab to see their unique take on chromatography.

This is the same argument every software engineer was making 3 years ago. Now we are superhuman, producing 1,000-10,000x more code per day. Traditional CAD software is reaching end of life and the people unwilling to adopt the new technologies will struggle to remain relevant.
i mean there's your first problem: nobody holds the cad app they have mastered dearly.
I have probably done solidworks at least once a week for the past 15 years and I'm not bothered by text-to-cad at all. It's definitely going to have a lot of uses as an assistant in CAD software (at the very least).
I think most people are skeptical of it because they're so competent at CAD that prompting an LLM to do it from 0 to 1 would actually take longer than just doing it manually. But I think people who aren't native to using CAD find prompting more natural.
Likewise doing CAD via LLM in the context of an assembly w/ tens or hundreds of parts seems like it could be more trouble than it's worth

Automation is a national imperative.
The hard truth is America is no longer cost-competitive. Sourcing hardware from overseas is 5-10x cheaper than the U.S.
AI-native robots are the essential power tool of the 21st century — how Americans will rapidly rebuild the productive capacity needed to compete at the global level.
This is Standard Bots' central mission: to put essential manufacturing tools into the hands of those who build America.

There’s still a plethora of advanced manufacturing startups and Factories that need to be started and funded.
China has 25-30 billion square foot of manufacturing space while the US is estimated to have just 11.3 billion.
Companies like @HadrianInc and @atomic_inc are at the forefront of this however there need to be many more companies like this to continue to serve the Defense and Aerospace realm, but more importantly, the larger market…
Commercial
There’s not much disruption and advanced factories being built to serve the commercial market……. Yet

The world is in a “space race” for energy that started about 2 years ago. As AI and robotics improve, the fundamental input to the economy becomes energy. The 20th century was won by steel. The 21st century will be won by energy, tokens, and robots.
Valar Atomics will deliver.

Your asking the right questions @ChrisCamillo Designed by the team that builds it at scale. Every part in that hand fought for its existence. Nothing survives unless it's manufacturable, reliable, maintainable, scalable and cost-effective. Designers sit on the factory floor, design the tooling and own cycle times.
