US Bans Foreign Humanoid Robots Over Espionage Fears
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has added robotic devices to a list of equipment banned over national security concerns, specifically targeting humanoid robots made in China. The move aims to prevent industrial espionage via robots that communicate with servers in China.
Washington has taken a decision to ban foreign humanoid robots over espionage fears. On Tuesday, the FCC, the US telecommunications regulator, added robotic devices to its list of prohibited equipment. The ban is particularly aimed at robots manufactured in Shenzhen whose software communicates with servers in China, a scenario that officials say moves industrial espionage from science fiction to intelligence reports. The measure is part of broader US efforts to restrict Chinese technology over national security concerns.
