The Federal Communications Commission in the US said on Tuesday it would ban the import of foreign-made humanoid robots in a move that targets China, arguing they pose a national security risk. The decision could strain bilateral relations as the technology race between the two world leaders advances. China makes substantially more humanoid robots than the US and other competitors, and analysts estimate that Chinese humanoid robots' global market share has reached roughly 85 per cent. The FCC's ban includes new imports of humanoid robots, quadrupeds -- often referred to as four-legged robot dogs -- as well as foreign-made power inverters. In making the decision, the FCC said these advanced robots produced in foreign countries pose supply chain vulnerabilities to the US as well as cybersecurity and national security risks. FCC chairperson Brendan Carr said in a statement that the move was to "secure America's critical supply chains." The United States has been taking steps to keep

Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati have developed advanced robots to man international borders which will offer AI-powered surveillance and uninterrupted, real-time monitoring across challenging terrains, according to officials. The robots developed by Da Spatio Rhobotique Laboratory Pvt. Ltd (DSRL), a start up incubated at IIT Guwahati, have also received acknowledgement from the Defence Research and Development Organisation for their potential for integration into India's defence infrastructure. The Indian Army is already conducting field trials for the surveillance system. According to Arnab Kumar Barman, CEO, DSRL, unlike conventional security measures that rely on drones, stationary cameras, and manual patrolling, this autonomous robotic system overcomes the limitations of terrain, weather and endurance. "Equipped with seamless pole traversal capabilities, adaptive obstacle navigation, and AI-driven reconnaissance, the system is a game-changer for ...

Robots on Tuesday joined the operation to locate the seven persons who remain trapped inside the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel here since February 22. The team of a Hyderabad-based robotics company along with a robot went inside the tunnel Tuesday morning. 110 rescue personnel also went into the tunnel. The Telangana government has decided to deploy robots to avoid any danger to the rescue personnel as the conditions inside the tunnel, including water and slush, posed a challenge. State irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on March 8 said the government would spend Rs four crores to undertake the operation by utilizing the services of robot experts (of the Hyderabad-based private company). Fragments of the huge Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) got submerged under water, soil and stones inside the tunnel caused hazard to the rescue team, he had said. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who visited the tunnel on March 2, suggested to the officials leading the operation to use robots ins
