2026年7月28日，美國聯邦通信委員會（FCC）將先進的移動機器人列入其「受限清單」（Covered List），在技術監管方面邁出了重大一步。
On July 28, 2026, the U.S.
此舉實質上禁止了特定外國製造商生產的新型人形與四足機器人的進口及銷售。
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took a major step in technology regulation by adding advanced mobile robots to its Covered List.
儘管該政策在條文上保持中立，但其主要針對的是目前佔據全球人形機器人市場約85%份額的中國企業。
This move effectively bans the import and sale of new humanoid and four-legged robots from specific foreign manufacturers.
美國政府列舉了重大的國家安全與網絡安全顧慮，擔憂這些聯網設備可能被用於監視或破壞關鍵基礎設施。
While the policy is technically neutral, it primarily targets Chinese firms, which currently dominate roughly 85% of the global humanoid robotics market.
有趣的是，這項禁令具有前瞻性，意味著已在使用的機器人不受影響，且製造商在2029年前仍可繼續提供軟體更新。
The U.S. government cited significant national security and cybersecurity concerns, fearing that these network-connected devices could be used for surveillance or to disrupt critical infrastructure.
這項決定反映了美國為確保供應鏈安全，並保護特斯拉（Tesla）與Figure AI等國內企業免受外國競爭的一貫策略。
Interestingly, the ban is prospective, meaning robots already in use are not affected, and manufacturers can continue providing software updates until 2029.
不出所料，此舉引發了北京方面的強烈批評，稱該政策為保護主義。
This decision reflects an ongoing U.S. strategy to secure supply chains and protect domestic companies like Tesla and Figure AI from foreign competition.
隨著機器人技術日趨成熟，FCC釋出信號，表示具備數據採集功能的移動機器人需要與傳統電信設備同等程度的監管，這標誌著美中兩國複雜科技競爭進入了新篇章。
Unsurprisingly, the move has drawn sharp criticism from Beijing, which labeled the policy as protectionism.
