U.S. would require security checks for robots from certain countries to protect Americans.
This bill would make national security agencies check humanoid and quadruped robots from specific foreign countries for security risks. If these robots are found risky, or if agencies don't decide within one year, the Federal Communications Commission would add them to a special list. This helps protect U.S. national security and the safety of Americans from potentially dangerous robot technology.
Today, there is no specific law requiring U.S. national security agencies to evaluate humanoid or quadruped robotics communications equipment from "countries of concern" for security risks. If this bill passes, national security agencies would be required to evaluate such equipment within one year. If the equipment is found to be risky, or if no decision is made in time, the Federal Communications Commission would add it to a covered list.
