Robotics Initiatives
Presented to
The Security Network Summit
10 March 2010
Current Robotics Posture
Context
• Japan the leader in service robotics,
US second (National Intelligence
Council*)
• $1.0B commercial R&D investment
from Japan, Korea and EU
• 95% of U.S. R&D investment ($1.0B)
from DoD
DoD historical support
• Tip of the spear in 2001, first in the
fight
• Mainly small business technology
Strategic direction
• Reduce warfighter risk while
increasing mission effectiveness
• Stimulate future workforce
• Develop new economic opportunities
“I believe that robotics can inspire
you people to pursue science and
engineering”
Leverage DoD Investment to Support Tomorrow’s Economy

National Robotics Pilot Initiative
• Vision: Regain U.S. leadership in Robotics (to
include STEM, R&D, Mfg, Utilization)
• Background: From MP to Clusters (connects
WH to DNI and DoC)
• Goals
– Leverage Defense efforts and describe stretch goal
for commercialization in many fields
– Develop skilled workforce for the future
– Support National Security Imperative (QDR) and
enhance war fighter capabilities
– Ensure Industrial base for the future
