Prohibits the Department of Defense from acquiring or using certain robotic systems from China.
The Stop Beijing’s Bots Act prohibits the Department of Defense from acquiring or using certain robotic systems from China. It defines "covered robotic systems" as quadrupedal robotic platforms, LiDAR sensors, unmanned ground vehicles, and any system or subcomponent determined by the Secretary of Defense. The act also mandates annual reviews of the definition of these systems and requires the Secretary to notify Congress of any waivers granted. The prohibition on procurement takes effect one year after enactment for new leases and three years for continued operation of existing systems.
