US FCC bans Chinese-made humanoid robots and power inverters

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), acting under the Trump administration, added advanced humanoid and quadruped robots and connected power inverters to its Covered List. The new rule bans the import, sale and distribution of any new models that have not yet received FCC authorization, while existing authorised models remain permitted.

The ban is aimed chiefly at devices manufactured in China and is justified on national‑security grounds. The FCC cited risks such as data collection, espionage, remote control and cyber‑attacks that could threaten critical infrastructure and the safety of American citizens. Federal agencies’ procurement of the affected robots and inverters is exempt from the restriction. FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the action secures America’s critical supply chains. The Chinese embassy in Washington condemned the measure as a politicisation of trade.
