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.
