🤖 China wants a lifetime "ID card" on every robot it makes

China's industry ministry (MIIT) has published draft rules requiring every complete robot made in the country, from industrial arms to service and special-purpose robots, to get a unique, permanent and tamper-proof ID code before leaving the factory. Makers would register products, including key components and software, on a national platform and file every code they use within 20 working days. Public comments are open until December 5, and the draft sets no start date yet.

⭐ It extends a scheme that already coded 28,000+ humanoids to an industry making close to 100,000 industrial robots a month, giving Beijing a detailed view of who builds what.
