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.

參院共和黨第3號人物、來自阿肯色州的科頓，以及來自紐約州的參院民主黨領袖舒默，計畫提出美國安全機器人法案，禁止聯邦政府採購或使用由中國等敵對國家製造的無人地面載具，以及禁止聯邦資金用於與這些機器人有關的事務。

The bill comes as Chinese firms compete with U.S. firms such as Tesla to deliver humanoid robots that can stand in for humans for tasks as varied as dangerous manufacturing work and household chores.

該法案提出的時機，正值中國企業與特斯拉等美國公司競爭，推出可替代人類，執行危險製造工作與家庭勞務等各種任務之際。

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. .

在週四的聲明中，2位國會議員主張，這類機器人構成國安風險，因為它們可被用來蒐集數據，以傳回中國，或從中國遠端控制。
