Intel seeks FCC exemption for foreign robotic equipment amid ban

The chipmaker says its automated guided vehicles have no validated domestic replacement and wants a waiver to keep them running Intel has asked the Federal Communications Commission for an expedited waiver. The goal is to keep foreign-made robots moving inside its US chip factories. The request lands months after Washington banned the very equipment Intel says its fabs cannot run without. At issue are automated guided vehicles, or AGVs. These are mobile robots that move materials around a facility without a human operator.
