Standard Bots

Robotics and manufacturing training centers need funding. Standard Bots CEO & co-founder Evan Beard testified to Congress on behalf of hundreds of U.S. manufacturers to ask for Robotics and Manufacturing Excellence Centers in every state. American manufacturers need the tools, training, and resources to compete on a global stage. These centers would bring this fundamental capacity home — to local workers, local facilities, and local economies. We’re proud to be co-authoring America's National Robotics Strategy with our countries brightest leaders.

Can advanced automation crack open new industries for you? For Eam Mosca, the answer was a resounding yes. Here’s a sneak peek at what that looks like on the production floor, featuring Thor, our longest-reach robot. Full story dropping soon.

How do you scale artisanal production? Here’s a look behind the scenes at Pika’s Farm Table, capturing their journey with advanced automation. What a delight! Full story coming soon. 🥧

The United States is not competitive in manufacturing, and we're falling further behind every day. Any company that builds hardware here can tell you that sourcing from China is generally 5 to 10 times cheaper. And it's not just because of their lower labor costs — it's because of China’s national investment in robotics. Last year alone, they installed nearly nine times the number of industrial robots we did. To catch up, we don't just need more robots, we need best-in-class training, too. That's why we testified before Congress last month to advocate for a Center of Robotics and Manufacturing Excellence in every state — physical hubs where manufacturers can walk in, test equipment, compare technologies, and leave with a plan for automating their operations. This is core to our proposed National Robotics Strategy. The time to act is now.

Why do we make robots in America? When the machines that power industry are imported, every disruption — logistics, trade policy, geopolitics — ripples through the entire manufacturing base. Modernization slows. Productivity stalls. Industrial dependence is a liability. For the United States to lead in advanced manufacturing, we can’t just make things, we have to make the tools that make the things. In the 21st century, the critical tools are AI-native robots. At Standard Bots, we’ve invested in vertical integration to take control of our supply chain. It’s not just about efficiency. It’s about resilience—and national security.

“Robots are the only answer.” That's what 19-year industry vet and owner of Majestic Marble had to say after implementing Standard Bots robotic arms. Based in Orlando, FL, Majestic Marble is a 20-person granite countertop manufacturer that uses our large robot arms to polish granite slab edges. With the robots taking on edge polishing, their workers shifted to higher-value tasks. Processes improved tenfold. Majestic Marble is an example of why we do what we do: simple robots that help humans do more. Plus, we do it all from Glen Cove, NY — so support is always close to home. 

Our AI-native robots — easy to use, they are. No code. Fast setup. Better work. This is how we meet the manufacturing labor gap head-on: accessible automation that empowers people and strengthens American industry. So today and every day, may the force of automation be with you.

“We started using it immediately. Within five days, everyone was up to speed.” Five days from install to full operation. That’s what fast ROI actually looks like. Plus, buying American-made robots means fast, local support you can count on. We’re proud to be building right here, in Glen Cove, NY—and thrilled to partner with local operations like HomeGrown Lifting Co. #madeinusa #manufacturing #robotics

Robots are the essential power tool. We make AI-powered robots accessible and affordable so workers can put them to good use. Our vision for the future: Better conditions. Better wages. Better outcomes—for everyone. Evan Beard at the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology #manufacturing #robotics #ai #madeinusa #automation

"A strong manufacturing base isn't nostalgia. It's how millions and millions of people in this country build a good life.” Rebuilding and scaling our manufacturing base requires automation — and a concerted national strategy to support it. Last week, Standard Bots CEO & co-founder Evan Beard testified before the U.S. Congress House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on the value of accessible, affordable robotics in American manufacturing. Small and mid-sized manufacturers, the backbone of our industrial economy, have long been priced out of automation. But with the right policy framework, American manufacturers — from family-owned machine shops to growing mid-market producers — can access the tools they need to compete and help lead the next era of industrial production. We're grateful for the chance to bring this perspective to Washington. The work continues. #madeinusa #robotics #automation
