In November 2024, Idaho Governor Brad Little led an industrial delegation to Taiwan to deepen bilateral cooperation in the field of AI robotics. On November 4, under the support of TUSA (Taiwan-U.S. Industrial Cooperation Promotion Office), the "Taiwan-U.S. AI Robotics Industry Collaboration Showcase: Welding the Future, Connecting the World" was held.

The event was headlined by TM Robot CEO Chen Shang-Hao and AMET President Don Schwemmer, and featured special guests including Lin Te-Sheng, Secretary-General of the Industrial Development Administration (IDA), Governor Brad Little, Commercial Officer Christopher Kavanagh from the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), and Jeff Lin, Executive Director of the TUSA Office.

At the showcase, TM Robot and AMET unveiled a jointly developed prototype of an AI-powered collaborative welding robot. This robot integrates visual recognition and intelligent welding technologies, highlighting Taiwan and the U.S.'s joint capabilities in smart manufacturing and applied R&D.

The event drew significant interest from the automation and welding industries, with 47 representatives in attendance from companies and institutions such as Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC), China Steel Structure, China Steel Machinery, CSBC Corporation, Taiwan, Chun-Yi, Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC), and Chen-Sheng Technology.

Following the event, a networking dinner with the AMET delegation further promoted in-depth industry engagement and opened doors to potential collaborations in precision welding and automation solutions. TUSA will continue fostering connections across the AI robotics supply chain and support global expansion, strengthening Taiwan-U.S. technological partnership and mutual industrial growth.
