Bill > S3275

This bill introduces the Humanoid ROBOT Act of 2025, which aims to mitigate national security risks associated with humanoid robots from countries of concern. The legislation defines a humanoid robot as an autonomous or semi-autonomous machine with artificial intelligence, a human-like body structure, capability to perform human-like tasks, and natural language processing abilities. The bill prohibits executive agencies from purchasing or using humanoid robots designed, tested, developed, or manufactured by covered entities, which include governments, political parties, or entities from countries of concern. The Secretary of Defense may waive these prohibitions for national security or research purposes. The bill also requires the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to review investments in humanoid robot technologies from potential adversarial nations and mandates that the Secretary of Defense submit a comprehensive report within one year analyzing national security threats posed by humanoid robots. This report must examine economic infrastructure, military applications, potential intellectual property risks, data privacy concerns, and potential economic espionage threats, along with recommendations for administrative and legislative actions to mitigate these risks.
