U.S. FCC withdraws certification for HoverAir modular drone Versa, citing erroneous approval
HoverAir’s new modular drone Versa has effectively been blocked from entering the U.S. market, TechRadar reported on Aug. 24. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission cancelled the certification previously granted to the product, saying it was issued in error, and removed it from its public database. The FCC said importing, marketing or selling the device in the United States would violate U.S. law and ordered the company to stop immediately.

Unitree survives new U.S. China tech curbs, can still sell six existing robot models
Chinese robot company Unitree said it can continue selling six key robot models in the United States despite new U.S. curbs on Chinese technology. It said it had already secured Federal Communications Commission equipment approvals for major humanoid and quadruped robots before the stricter rules took effect. The FCC has expanded its Covered List on national security grounds, which could limit market entry for new products. Unitree warned new models developed after the cutoff could face restrictions.
