The industry is projected to sell millions of robots across the country over the next four years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/ifr.org\/ifr-press-releases\/news\/global-robot-demand-in-factories-doubles-over-10-years\">report<\/a> from the International Federation of Robotics, the market has sold and installed an average of 500,000 robots between 2020 and 2024. China alone accounted for 54% of those installations, compared to just 9% for America.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Malchano, vice president of software at Boston Dynamics, told lawmakers in&nbsp; the House Homeland Security cyber subcommittee hearing Tuesday that robotics represent the necessary physical infrastructure to support the country\u2019s efforts to dominate the global AI race, with robots, drones and other machines more fully integrating AI systems in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to Chinese companies like Unitree, which are capturing market share with police departments and universities across the United States, despite contracting ties to the Chinese military and cybersecurity vulnerabilities <a href=\"https:\/\/spectrum.ieee.org\/unitree-robot-exploit\">like a wormable exploit<\/a> found in 2025 that would allow an attacker to takeover fleets of Unitree robots.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Malchano said Unitree is one of \u201cdozens\u201d of Chinese companies propped up by China\u2019s national AI and robotics plan, which \u201cenvisions transforming virtually every major industry in China by integrating AI powered robots\u201d through funding and favorable policies.<\/p>\n<p>He pressed U.S. lawmakers for a similar national strategy, and stumped for the passage of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/7334\/text\"> National Commission on Robotics Act<\/a>, sponsored by Rep. Jay Olbernolte, R-Calif., that would develop a bipartisan commission to drive it.<\/p>\n<p>Max Fenkell, global head of policy and government relations at ScaleAI, said while the U.S. is winning the AI race on its chosen metrics \u2013 model quality and chips \u2013 it is \u201closing\u201d on data and implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike large language models, which download training data straight from the internet, AI systems for robots will require unique training data gathered, categorized and labeled through thousands of hours of bespoke testing.<\/p>\n<p>While China has pursued an \u201cindustrialized\u201d training strategy in tandem with industry, funding mile-long stretches of warehouses dedicated to gathering training data for Chinese companies, the U.S. has no similar strategy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing two different races play out and I fear right now the United States may be winning the wrong one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Executives at the hearing were unanimous in suggesting Congress block U.S. federal agencies from purchasing Chinese-made robots and create a single federal regulatory standard for the industry, while Fenkell and Malchado asked for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to conduct a security review of foreign-made robots.<\/p>\n<p>At the hearing, Rep. James Walkinshaw, D-Va., noted a long history of bipartisan cooperation to help U.S. companies compete against state-subsidized Chinese firms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith extensive state investment in technology companies and laws that enlist private companies to serve the interest of the government, the PRC\u2019s military-civil fusion is a serious threat to our own national security,\u201d said Walkinshaw.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-powered-robots-collide-with-the-trump-administration-s-thirst-for-data\">AI-powered robots collide with the Trump administration\u2019s thirst for data<\/h4>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As lawmakers weigh how best to position U.S. companies to compete with China, they must also grapple with the possibility that AI-powered robots could be hacked, manipulated or intentionally turned against the public.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy and civil liberties experts have<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/news\/privacy-technology\/its-simply-too-dangerous-to-arm-robots\"> long expressed<\/a> concerns about the use of robots in areas like policing, in certain military contexts and against American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The requests for more help from Washington comes at the same time the U.S. government, including the military and Department of Homeland Security, has become markedly more aggressive under the Trump administration about tracking data on Americans and using force against U.S. citizens involved in immigration operations.<\/p>\n<p>Companies like Boston Dynamics sell their robots to manufacturing facilities, semiconductor fabricators, energy plants, first responders, and the U.S. Secret Service. But they also sell them to police departments and the U.S. military, and an early version of the company\u2019s viral \u201cBigDog\u201d quadruped model was created through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governing.com\/resilience\/police-robot-dogs-raise-concerns-as-more-departments-adopt-them\">spent<\/a> $78,000 for a Canadian robot that could perform similar tasks as Spot, another Boston Dynamics robot model, including deploying smoke bombs, according to Governing.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, DHS finalized a $1 billion contract with Palantir to expand AI data analytics across the department to support immigration enforcement. The Coast Guard alone is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.uscg.mil\/Press-Releases\/Article\/4314137\/coast-guard-to-invest-350-million-in-robotics-and-autonomous-systems\/\"> investing $350 million<\/a> in robotics and autonomous systems by 2028.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Congressional Democrats are currently blocking funding for DHS over its immigration and data collection policies.<\/p>\n<p> <\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.3243243243243\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/u-s-robotics-companies-want-federal-help-to-keep-chinese-robots-out-of-americas-networks-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
