Robotics Supply Chain Improvement Act

This bill defines "robotics" for federal purposes, excluding drones, passenger vehicles, and toys. Within 90 days, it directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to identify ways to improve data sharing for AI and robotics hardware, work with industry on robotics standards, support robotics uses in mining, food processing, and home and elder care, and coordinate with the Education and Labor Secretaries on related job-training curricula. The Commerce Department must report to Congress each year for five years on how firms across industries and regions adopt robotics. NASA must prioritize licensing its robotics inventions and patents to private companies and report on those efforts within 180 days.
