AUVSI CEO Michael Robbins Named a 'Power Player' in Washington's Robotics Race by Politico

Prominent U.S. political publication Politico has released its list of "Power Players" in Washington's robotics technology arena, and Michael Robbins, President and CEO of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), has earned a spot on the list. The recognition positions him as a pivotal figure in the intensifying U.S.-China robotics and technology competition.

Politico praised Robbins for his proactive efforts in pushing the U.S. government to strengthen its policy responses on robotics and unmanned systems. As China continues to expand its investment and technological development in drones, robotics, and autonomous systems, Washington has grown increasingly focused on how to maintain America's competitive edge in these critical technology sectors.

AUVSI has long served as a key advocacy organization for the U.S. unmanned systems and robotics industry, driving the development of industry standards while actively engaging with Congress and federal agencies to promote a regulatory environment that supports innovation and growth. Robbins' recognition reflects the rising importance of unmanned systems and robotics technology in the broader U.S. national security strategy.

Against the backdrop of escalating U.S.-China tech rivalry, the U.S. government is accelerating a range of policy initiatives, including restricting the use of Chinese-made drones, strengthening domestic supply chains, and boosting investment in autonomous systems R&D. AUVSI continues to wield significant influence in these policy discussions, advocating for conditions that favor the growth and competitiveness of the American drone and robotics industry.
