So how can US and European robot makers compete with that? Bristol-based Bren Pierce has founded three robotics companies and the latest, Kinisi has just launched the KR1 robot. While the robot has been designed and developed in the UK, it will be manufactured in Asia. "The problem you get as a European or American company, you have to buy all these sub-components from China in the first place. "So then it becomes stupid to buy your motors, buy your batteries, buy your resistors, shift them all halfway around the world to put together when you could just put them all together at the source, which is in Asia." As well as making his robots in Asia, Mr Pierce is keeping costs down by not going for the full humanoid form.
