CHICAGO -- Automated logistics and industrial equipment companies from China are betting on the U.S. market for growth, fueled by booming e-commerce sales and U.S. President Donald Trump's push to boost domestic manufacturing.

Among the companies looking to expand their U.S. operations is logistics robot firm BlueSword, which said it is aiming to grow the country's share of overall sales with its new automation system. Logistics robots are used for transportation, handling and sorting goods in warehouses, and supply chain management.
