FCC Ban Could Reshape US Robotics | Tech News
Description
Robotics investment is surging, but many U.S. startups still depend on Chinese hardware—until now. The FCC has banned new advanced and human-like robots from China, forcing a reckoning for the industry. Enter Ati: once a self-driving car parts maker, they pivoted to building their own robots, including heavy-duty tuggers and soon-to-launch humanoid models. By manufacturing in-house and leveraging India’s EV supply chain via R&D in Bangalore, they’ve cut ties with China for most components—even if some parts like harmonic drives still come from there. With hundreds of robots already deployed and a Michigan assembly plant in the works, Ati is poised to thrive as the ban pushes competitors toward domestic production, reshaping the robotics landscape.
