What this bill does
The Humanoid ROBOT Act of 2025, introduced by Senator Bill Cassidy, aims to reduce national security risks posed by humanoid robots produced in certain countries. The bill would prohibit U.S. executive agencies from contracting with or using humanoid robots designed, tested, developed, or manufactured by entities considered "covered entities." These covered entities include governments, political parties, and businesses from "countries of concern," as well as those owned or controlled by them. The Secretary of Defense could waive these prohibitions for national security or research purposes.
The bill also seeks to review investments by entities from "covered nations" into U.S. businesses that design, test, develop, or manufacture humanoid robots. This would fall under the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review process. Additionally, the Secretary of Defense would be required to submit a report to Congress detailing national security threats posed by humanoid robots developed in countries of concern, including analyses of their manufacturing, military-civil fusion efforts, and data privacy risks.
S. 3275 was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. It is currently in its initial stage.
