The FCC added new-model Chinese humanoid and quadruped robots, including Unitree's, to its Covered List on July 28, 2026, blocking the equipment authorization needed to import, market or sell new units in the US after researchers found firmware backdoors and undisclosed data transmission to Chinese servers; previously authorized units already in the US are unaffected.
