Intel asks the FCC for a waiver to keep upgrading the foreign-made robots that run its US fabs

Intel has petitioned the FCC for an expedited waiver so it can keep making hardware, software and firmware changes to the automated guided vehicles that move materials in its US chip plants. The vehicles are foreign-made, and the FCC barred new foreign advanced robotic devices in July. Intel says no domestic alternative exists and replacement would take years. The request is pending.
