US FCC grants Intel exemption to continue using foreign robots

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted Intel a one-year rule exemption, allowing it to continue using the relevant equipment under an import ban on certain foreign-made advanced robots. Intel says these automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are used to transport wafers and materials within semiconductor factories, have been in use for more than twenty years, and that the market lacks mature US domestic alternatives that meet its operational requirements. The ban was introduced on July 28 this year and places newly manufactured foreign-made humanoid robots, quadruped robots, and networked power inverters on the controlled list.
