Who can buy it, and with what money
Two different gates. Whether a platform may be sold at all is set by FCC authorization and binds everyone. Whether a particular buyer may spend a particular kind of money on it is set by procurement law and binds public money only. The same machine can pass one and fail the other.

Foreign produced. Public agencies and districts should assume their procurement rules restrict this, and several makers including Unitree also sit on the Department of Defense 1260H list, which reaches federally funded institutional buyers. Private and commercial buyers are unaffected.

On 28 July 2026 the FCC added foreign-produced advanced robotic devices over 4.4 lb to its Covered List. A covered device cannot receive a new equipment authorization, and without one it cannot lawfully be imported or marketed in the United States. Devices authorized before that date keep their authorization. That single date is what separates the platforms on this site that can ship from the ones that cannot.

All 83 platforms →Unitree and R1 belong to their maker. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an authorized dealer for them unless a separate agreement says so in writing. Nothing on this page is legal advice. Status reflects public records on the compiled date and can change, including by revocation of a grant that was valid the week before.
