In an era when most automation systems are designed in the U.S. but built overseas, Corvus Robotics is charting a different course. The company, winner of the NextGen Supply Chain Solution Provider Award for Robotics, designs and manufactures its autonomous warehouse drones entirely in America.
Co-founder and CEO Jackie Wu told Talking Supply Chain host Brian Straight that building domestically isn’t just about cost, it’s about control, innovation, and resilience. By keeping engineering and manufacturing under one roof, Corvus can respond to customer feedback quickly, make design adjustments in real time, and avoid the unpredictability of tariffs and global trade disruptions.
“Every country needs to be able to make some of its own things,” Wu said. “If there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Based in Silicon Valley, Corvus is proving that American-made robotics can compete globally by playing to the nation’s strengths in high-value, high-complexity manufacturing.
