FCC Bans Chinese Humanoid Robots Over National Security Risk

The Federal Communications Commission has banned "advanced robotic devices" from China — including humanoid and animal-like robots — citing unacceptable national security risks. The move is the Trump administration's latest front in its campaign to wall off Chinese technology, as the US and China race for dominance in robotics and AI. The ban covers any device that fits the FCC's definition of an advanced robotic system.
