Consumer Robotics

91 companies tracked, 12 with documented incidents. Ranked by RobotRisk index; tick marks category median where nonzero.

Analyst brief

The category's sole entity, Aiper, is represented by one recall of robotic pool vacuums for a burn/fire hazard. The dominant failure mode on record is a thermal/fire safety defect addressed through a consumer product recall rather than an operational or navigational failure. With only one entity and one event, the data shows full concentration in a single company and hazard type. The record is regulator-driven, arising from a formal recall action.
