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.

The dispute has expanded from a row over large AI models to import limits, blacklist additions and tighter export controls. U.S. regulators have also broadened scrutiny to advanced robots and power inverters, while Washington and Beijing exchange criticism and countermeasures.

Tesla, Boston Dynamics gain as U.S. move hurts Chinese robot firms
The United States has effectively blocked new imports and sales of foreign-made advanced robots by halting new certifications, slowing Chinese robotics firms’ push into the U.S. market. The Federal Communications Commission added advanced robotic devices to its covered list, citing supply-chain vulnerabilities and cybersecurity threats, while previously certified models are unaffected for now. China protested, calling it protectionism. Analysts said the timing may benefit U.S. firms such as Tesla, Figure and Boston Dynamics.
