The U.S. FCC just banned imports of foreign-made humanoid robots, robot dogs, and power inverters — primarily targeting China — citing national security risks and supply chain vulnerabilities. With China dominating 85% of the global robotics market, the move aims to shield U.S. industries but may not halt China’s rapid progress, especially with its vast domestic manufacturing and global export reach. This follows broader U.S. restrictions on Chinese tech like drones and AI models, escalating tensions ahead of the Trump-Xi summit in September. The Pentagon has also flagged Chinese firms like Unitree for alleged military ties, while Beijing fiercely defends its tech as globally beneficial — potentially straining U.S.-China tech collaborations, including joint projects like Nvidia’s robot chassis design.
