US bans new Chinese robots, power inverters over security concerns

The Trump administration has imposed a ban on new Chinese-made humanoid and quadruped robots, along with connected power inverters, citing national security concerns. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced the restrictions, arguing that these devices pose risks to U.S. artificial intelligence infrastructure and critical energy systems through potential supply chain vulnerabilities, data theft, and cyberattacks. The ban aims to protect the U.S. AI supply chain and reduce reliance on Chinese technology, similar to previous efforts targeting rare earth minerals. While the measures apply only to unapproved models, the FCC retains the authority to revoke existing authorizations. The Chinese embassy did not comment, but U.S. officials warn of the broader implications for technological sovereignty and international trade.
