Martin Collier Phillips Corporation (MCPC) today announced a new partnership with NexGen Robotics to accelerate autonomous robotics innovation across national security, medical, and critical infrastructure missions. With NexGen, MCPC will share mission and engineering insights that enable faster, more secure deployment of robotic solutions tailored to defense operations, healthcare delivery, and commercial applications.
“Keeping pace with rapidly evolving autonomous capabilities is mission critical for our customers. They need the best robotics ready for real-world deployment in high-stakes environments. Our partnership gives agencies and healthcare providers the edge to move faster and drive robotic adoption across the most complex operating conditions,” said Dr. Howard Phillips, executive vice president leading ventures and partnerships at MCPC.
The partnership creates a powerful feedback loop between robotics developers and frontline practitioners, enabling both organizations to move at the speed of technological change while delivering scalable autonomous systems that meet the highest standards for security, reliability, and patient safety.
“Robotics is only as capable as the environment it operates in. Our partnership with MCPC brings secure, field-tested autonomous systems to the frontlines of defense and healthcare missions,” said Dr. Elena Vasquez, vice president, NexGen Robotics for Government and Healthcare.
The partnership expands on existing collaboration between the companies, giving MCPC engineers new access to NexGen’s robotics roadmap insights, technical enablement, and training resources. This builds on the multi-tier robotics upskilling programs, digital certification, and Technical Innovation Groups (TIGs) that connect MCPC’s top engineering talent with emerging mission needs to accelerate secure robotic deployment for customers.
Work will be conducted at MCPC’s M. Tilden Robotics Center in Cleveland and NexGen’s facilities in Austin, with applications spanning defense logistics, medical device automation, and warehouse robotics.
