美国芯片巨头英特尔对美国政府禁止外国制造机器人的规定感到困惑，因此提出并获得了“出于谨慎起见”的豁免。该科技公司希望确保自己能够继续在美国芯片制造厂使用某些机器人车辆。
US chip champion Intel was so confused by the US government ban on foreign-made robots that it requested and received a waiver “out of an abundance of caution.”The tech company wanted to make sure that it could continue using certain robotic vehicles in its US chip fabs.
美国联邦通信委员会批准英特尔豁免请求的决定，揭示了该机构对某些外国制造机器人禁令所引发的不确定性。10月22日，FCC发布命令，允许英特尔在美国半导体制造设施中继续使用外国制造的机器人，期限为一年。
The uncertainty surrounding the Federal Communications Commission ban on certain foreign-made robots was revealed in the agency’s decision to grant Intel’s waiver request. On October 22, the FCC published its order allowing Intel to continue using the foreign-made robots in US semiconductor manufacturing facilities for a period of one year.
根据英特尔网站，涉及的机器人是运行在“轨道或预设路径”上的自动导引车辆，通常需要操作员监督。它们帮助在仓库和工厂车间内搬运材料和物品。
The robots in question are automated guided vehicles operating on “tracks or predefined paths” while often requiring operator oversight, according to Intel’s website. They help to move materials and items around within warehouses and factory floors.
