U.S. FCC Halts Imports of Specific Foreign Robots and Power Inverters

The U.S. FCC has banned the import of new foreign-made humanoid and quadruped robots, along with power inverters. Citing national security and cybersecurity risks, this measure primarily targets China, which holds a significant market share in humanoid robots. The decision is expected to strain U.S.-China relations ahead of a planned visit by Chinese leader Xi Jinping and aims to secure critical U.S. supply chains.
