U.S. FCC bans Chinese-made humanoid robots and power inverters

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) added advanced humanoid robots, quadruped robots and power inverters to its Covered List, prohibiting the import and sale of new models that have not yet received FCC authorization. The action targets devices primarily produced by Chinese manufacturers, which together account for roughly 85 % of the global humanoid‑robot market. FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the measure is intended to secure America’s critical supply chains and protect national security from cyber‑espionage risks.

The ban applies only to new, foreign‑made models; devices already authorized or previously sold are not affected. It also extends to robot vacuum cleaners that meet the FCC’s definition of autonomous, network‑connected devices, and to power inverters used in renewable‑energy systems, data centres and household appliances. China has warned it will retaliate against the restrictions, raising the prospect of further trade tensions between the two countries.
