BRBuild Robots

THE BUILD ROBOTS PLAN

Build robots in the U.S.
Make the parts here.

We’re organizing American manufacturers, component suppliers, integrators, researchers, and educators to build robots in the U.S. Connect machine shops to robot builders, qualify domestic components, and train the people who turn prototypes into repeatable production.

Proposed program. The consortium’s legal entity and planned 501(c)(6) status are not established. Sites, equipment, cohorts, partnerships, and funding described here are objectives. The tour shows illustrative study areas and simulation models.

01

Start with a two-arm welding cell

Bring power, local AI, American material suppliers, and a two-arm robotic welding cell together at a U.S. manufacturing site. Target high-mix, small-batch work. Measure first-pass yield, setup time, uptime, repair time, and cost per accepted part before replicating a cell.

Local AI and measured experiments should help American teams propose and compare changes. Operators approve validated recipes with a known rollback path.

02

Make robot components in America

  • Motion: CNC-machined links, servo motors, drives, and harmonic reducers.
  • Process and quality: laser sources, welding heads, industrial cameras, and inspection.
  • Infrastructure: generators, power distribution, compute, chips, cooling, materials, and service tooling.

Map U.S. suppliers, lead times, production tools, and supply gaps. Share qualification methods and documented interfaces so American robot builders can source, repair, and improve components here. Compare the scale of the challenge in the China–U.S. robot installation chart and the electricity generation chart.

03

Find the next U.S. robot-building site

Study Austin, Salt Lake, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Inyokern, Mojave, and Clarksville. Mojave is the detailed tour’s geographic anchor. Connect each study area to American suppliers, technical schools, customers, and available industrial power.

  1. Screen transport, power, land use, environmental constraints, workforce, and services.
  2. Visit shortlisted land and confirm ownership, access, utilities, and permitted uses.
  3. Commit to a first site only after technical, commercial, and legal reviews.

The maps in the tour demonstrate screening. They are not land acquisitions, power commitments, or construction plans.

04

Connect American robot builders

Recruit a proposed cohort of 100 founders, U.S. manufacturers, integrators, researchers, and component suppliers. Use 90-day build cycles to turn an identified customer need into a measured process and a demonstrated part.

Proposed trade-group activities include supplier introductions, component working groups, shared qualification methods, production demonstrations, and workforce connections. Investors, media, and policy participants can help connect American robot builders to customers, capital, and the public.

05

Organize a U.S. robotics trade group

The proposed group would bring U.S. robot builders and suppliers together through a Nevada nonprofit trade association and a 501(c)(6) business league. Formation counsel should review the entity, bylaws, membership, conflicts, financial controls, tax filings, and reporting before any filing or claim of recognition.

Keep federation activities, commercial production agreements, a proposed trade school, and any political activity under clearly documented responsibilities and appropriate separate governance.

06

Train America’s robotics workforce

Develop a proposed trade school with U.S. employers and instructors. Connect safe operation, setup, metrology, machining, maintenance, robot programming, and inspection to supervised production exercises.

Pursue workforce and research partnerships with American universities, workforce organizations, and military research teams. Record completed training and demonstrated skills; seek any required approvals before operating a school.

07

Prove U.S. production, then expand

  1. Organize: identify the founding members, organizing lead, legal structure, U.S. suppliers, and first customer problems.
  2. Qualify: shortlist sites, select equipment, write acceptance criteria, and review the first process.
  3. Pilot: commission one cell, train its operators, and deliver measured pilot batches at a U.S. site.
  4. Replicate: expand only after demand, quality, serviceability, and unit economics are demonstrated.

Publish progress against these gates. Report filings, relationships, inventory, revenue, and production results only after they exist.

08

Help build robots in the U.S.

Tell us what you build, the component or process you know, and how you can strengthen American robot manufacturing. Register interest in the trade group and its future updates and invitations. Signup is an expression of interest; it does not create membership or a financial commitment.
