US bans new Chinese humanoid robots over security fears

The Trump administration on Tuesday banned imports of new Chinese humanoid and quadruped robots, as well as power inverters, citing national security risks. The Federal Communications Commission added the items to its Covered List, blocking future foreign-made models. The move targets China, the world's largest robot maker, amid a US-China race in AI and robotics. China's embassy condemned the 'groundless' sanctions and vowed to take necessary measures.
