In July, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced restrictions on imports of certain foreign-made advanced robots due to cybersecurity concerns. This ruling affects mobile and legged robots, prompting questions for companies considering purchases. A free webinar featuring leaders from Vecna Robotics, Locus Robotics, and the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) will address these implications on October 27, 2026.
The webinar will focus on how connected systems differ from traditional automation and the long-term supportability of robotics investments. Attendees will gain insights into strengthening supply chains and the questions buyers should ask their technology providers. This discussion is crucial as the U.S. robotics industry navigates the changing landscape brought about by the FCC's decision.
Vecna Robotics, a U.S.-based manufacturer, is not directly impacted by the FCC ruling. The webinar will provide a platform for industry leaders to share their expertise and answer questions from participants, with a focus on the future of automation in light of regulatory changes.
