The $1/Hour Robot Is Coming: Four Industry Leaders Explain What’s Next
"It's not safe. Right. We've already, we've already heard about leaks that are happening with some of the quadrupeds that you're seeing in the United States and being backchanneled back to China."
Amanda McMaster, interim CEO of Boston Dynamics, says she does not believe humanoid robotics from China should be allowed in the United States, citing safety and alleged data leakage concerns involving quadruped robots. She calls for a "national robotic strategy" and for manufacturing to be located in the US or allied countries, arguing robotics should not repeat what she describes as US vulnerability in semiconductors.
