US bans foreign-made humanoid robots, targeting China over national security

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission banned imports of foreign-made humanoid robots and power inverters, citing national security risks, with the move targeting China, the dominant player in the global humanoid robot market. The ban includes quadruped robots and aims to secure U.S. supply chains, potentially straining U.S.-China relations ahead of a planned summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
