(BOSTON 6/18/2025) — Representative Lindsay Sabadosa and Senator Michael Moore are hosting the Massachusetts State House’s first Robotics Exhibition this week to promote and support the Commonwealth’s cutting edge robotics industry. Spot, Boston Dynamics’ advanced mobile robot, will be making a return after its State House debut last year, and MassRobotics is organizing a showcase of technologies from six other Massachusetts-based robotics companies:
ReviMo, robotic assistant that can help people with mobility challenges get out of bed and live independently;
Bridge Appliances, a robotic kitchen appliance that makes perfect eggs;
Liftlab, automated robotic release system that can replace rope fishing gear, reducing whale entanglement risks;
Revolute Robotics, builds inspection and surveillance robots for hard-to-reach areas
Tatum Robotics, an anthropomorphic robotic system that signs tactile American Sign Language (ASL) — the primary and often only communication method of Deaf-Blind individuals; and
Ubiros, the first fully electrically actuated gripper in the market for food/beverage organization.
The Robotics Exhibition will take place in State House Room 428 on June 18th, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM for an interactive experience. Legislators, staff, press, and members of the public are welcome to engage with the robots, experiencing firsthand the capabilities of advanced robotics developed and manufactured in the Commonwealth.
The robots will also help raise awareness of bill H.1978/S.1208, known as An Act to Ensure the Responsible Use of Advanced Robotic Technologies. This legislation would establish Massachusetts as a pioneering state in regulating advanced robotics by maximizing the positive impacts of these technologies on society and prohibiting their harmful applications, including weaponization by individuals who purchase these robots. The legislation is currently being considered by the Joint Committee on the Judiciary.
