FCC Determines Foreign Robotic Systems Pose Unacceptable National Security Risks to U.S. Critical Infrastructure

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has determined that all foreign-produced advanced robotic devices pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security. Citing concerns over networked capabilities, the FCC stated these devices could expose critical infrastructure and sensitive data to cyberattacks, espionage, and remote manipulation. This finding supports broader federal efforts to strengthen domestic robotics manufacturing and secure technologies used in industrial operations and critical infrastructure.
