Yesterday the US government announced its was updating its list of banned foreign-made products to include “advanced robotic devices,” and today an FCC spokesperson confirmed that applies to robot vacuums too. But spying doesn’t require legs — and neither does the FCC’s robot ban. The robot ban will sweep up robot vacuum cleaners too, FCC media relations director Katie Gorscak confirms to The Verge. And that applies to products we might think benign, such as robot vacuums, lawnmowers, and more. But depending on how this ban plays out, the market for robot vacuums could take some wild turns in the near future.
