The US FCC banned foreign-made humanoid and advanced robots, citing national security concerns over supply chain vulnerabilities and cybersecurity risks. The ban applies to quadrupeds and humanoids but excludes devices used by the Department of War and Department of Homeland Security. Foreign-made power inverters with wireless connectivity are also banned under the same national security strategy.
