旧金山，3月26日电（路透社）- 周四，两名美国参议员计划提出一项法案，禁止政府购买或使用中国企业制造的人形机器人。
来自阿肯色州的汤姆·科顿（Tom Cotton）是参议院第三号共和党人，与纽约州的查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）同为参议院民主党领袖，两人计划提出《美国安全机器人法案》（American Security Robotics Act）。该法案将禁止联邦政府购买或使用中国等对手国家制造的无人地面车辆，并禁止将联邦资金用于相关机器人项目。

该法案出台之际，中国企业正与特斯拉（TSLA.O）等美国企业展开竞争，推出能够替代人类执行从危险制造工作到家庭杂务等各种任务的人形机器人。至少有两家中国企业——Agibot和Unitree——正准备今年在中国上市，其产品在国内备受关注。
周四，议员们在声明中表示，此类机器人构成国家安全风险，因为它们可能被用于收集数据并传回中国，或可能受到来自中国的远程控制。去年，一群议员曾敦促五角大楼将Unitree列入与中国军方合作的企业名单。
科顿表示：”中国共产党制造的机器人威胁到阿肯色州民众的隐私和我们的国家安全。”
舒默称，得到中国共产党支持的中国企业”正在实施其标准策略——这次是在机器人领域——试图用其技术充斥美国市场，这对美国人的隐私以及美国的研究和产业构成了真正的安全风险和威胁。”
该法案将允许美国军方和执法机构在机器人无法向中国传输数据或从中国接收数据的前提下，对中国机器人进行研究，但设有豁免条款。
美国众议院方面，纽约州共和党众议员埃莉斯·斯特凡尼克（Elise Stefanik）周四计划宣布与参议院版本配套的法案。
斯特凡尼克在一份声明中表示：”我们必须继续推动美国机器人技术的优势，同时保护我们的隐私和国家安全免受对手威胁。”

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26 (Reuters) – Two U.S. senators on Thursday planned to introduce a bill that would ban the government from buying or operating humanoid robots made by Chinese firms.
Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the third most-powerful Republican in the Senate, and Chuck Schumer of New York, the top Democrat in the chamber, plan to put forward the American Security Robotics Act, which would prohibit the federal government from buying or using unmanned ground vehicles made by adversaries such as China and bar the use of federal funds in connection with the robots.

The bill comes as Chinese firms compete with U.S. firms such as Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab to deliver humanoid robots that can stand in for humans for tasks as varied as dangerous manufacturing work and household chores. At least two Chinese firms – Agibot and Unitree – are preparing to list shares in China this year as their products capture attention there.
In statements on Thursday, the lawmakers argued that such robots present a national security risk because they could be used to gather data to send back to China or could be remotely controlled from China. A group of lawmakers last year urged the Pentagon to add Unitree to a list of firms that work with China’s military.

“Robots made by Communist China threaten Arkansans’ privacy and our national security,” Cotton said.
Schumer said Chinese firms with support from the Chinese Communist Party “are running their standard playbook – this time in robotics – trying to flood the U.S. market with their technology, which presents real security risks and threats to Americans’ privacy and American research and industry.”
The bill would contain exemptions for the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies to research Chinese robots, as long as the robots cannot transmit data to or receive data from China.
In the U.S. House of Representatives, Representative Elise Stefanik, a New York Republican, on Thursday planned to announce a companion bill to the Senate version.
“We must continue to promote and propel America’s robotics superiority while safeguarding our privacy and national security from adversaries,” Stefanik said in a statement.
