US distributor of China’s most popular humanoid robots pivots after US ban
摘要
美国主要机器人经销商RoboStore因美国政府对外国制造机器人监管趋严，宣布转型，计划在纽约长岛自建工厂生产机器人。此前，该公司是中国宇树科技人形机器人和四足机器人在北美的主要分销商，已向哈佛、麻省理工、亚马逊、英伟达等高校和企业售出超1500台设备。RoboStore创始人表示，公司曾服务OpenAI、思科等客户及150多所大学。
A leading US distributor of China’s most popular humanoid robots and robot dogs now plans to produce its own robots at a facility on Long Island, New York. The business pivot comes amid the US government’s growing crackdown on foreign-made robots.
The company RoboStore had previously become the main North American distributor for humanoid robots and quadruped robots from Unitree Robotics, a Chinese robotics company that produces some of the most affordable and popular humanoid robot models. Universities such as Harvard and MIT, along with tech companies like Amazon and Nvidia, purchased such robots made in China through RoboStore for their own research and development purposes.
“We’ve sold over 1,500 robots and deployed them and worked with customers like Cisco, OpenAI, Nvidia, and over 150 universities,” Teddy Haggerty, founder and CEO of RoboStore, told Ars.
