&gt; A robot in the US is more or less going to cost the same as a robot in China<p>I have no data to back this up, but my intuition tells me that a robot made in the US (with American workers) will still cost more to make than the same robot made in China. As I say, just a hunch (I don&#x27;t know how much proportion of robotic work is involved in building a robot, though I imagine more and more every day), so let&#x27;s wait and see.
