Zeroth Robotics
Zeroth M1
Can the Zeroth Robotics Zeroth M1 be imported and sold in the United States?
Status not established
We cannot place this one either side of the line. The covered device test needs all five elements answered at once, and the record we hold does not answer them. Weight: Unverified. No published figure. 19.4 inches tall. Radio: Unverified. Origin: Unverified. We confirm all three against a supplier spec sheet, and look for an FCC grant record, before we quote it. Until then, treat nothing here as a finding that the rule does or does not reach it.

The maker publishes no weight we can read, so we cannot place this platform against the 4.4 lb line from the record we hold. That is a gap in the published specification, not a finding about an FCC record. We confirm the weight with its dock against a supplier spec sheet before quoting.
The highest risk item we looked at. Every source traces back to CES publicity in January 2026 and we found no post-ship review or delivery confirmation. Its height suggests a machine near or over the weight line, but no weight is published and we will not infer one. Foreign produced on the available evidence, which would have meant a fresh authorization after 28 July 2026. Get a spec sheet, and verify an FCC ID and grant date, before touching it.
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.

The ground robot rule is conjunctive, and weight is one of its five elements. Miss any one of them and the rule does not reach the device at all. Almost every desktop, companion and kit robot sits under 4.4 lb including its dock or charging base, which puts it outside the definition whatever the other four elements say. Weight is therefore the fact that usually decides this tier, and where it is unpublished we confirm it against a supplier spec sheet before quoting.
The entry tier→Other small and desktop platforms on the board
All 83 platforms →Zeroth Robotics and Zeroth M1 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. Confirm the record yourself before you rely on it.
