Humanoid robots: Trump's latest China trade battle?
The Trump administration, via the FCC, banned new foreign-made humanoid and four-legged robots from entering the US, citing “unacceptable risks” to national security, including potential data collection and remote commandeering. The move is seen as targeting China, which accounted for 85% of humanoid deployments last year, per Barclays. Unitree Robotics is cited for alleged military links. Barclays estimates the market could reach $200B by 2035.
