Engineered Arts

Status note · Sep 22, 2026

Label changed to FCC Restriction on Sep 22, 2026 after an audit against the FCC's primary documents. The FCC added foreign-produced ground-mobile robots to its Covered List on Jul 28, 2026. The rule covers humanoids, quadrupeds and other ground-mobile robots over 4.4 lb. New foreign-produced models cannot receive FCC equipment authorization unless they qualify as a Buy American domestic end product or receive a Department of War Conditional Approval (apply by Jan 1, 2028); models authorized earlier can be sold through Jan 1, 2029. This label rests on Engineered Arts' Ameca humanoid, designed and produced at its Falmouth, Cornwall, UK site, which remains the manufacturing base despite the company's December 2024 restructuring as a US entity; whether any exemption applies has not yet been confirmed with the company.
