Coco Robotics

Products: n/a. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 20.7/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 93th percentile of 16 sidewalk delivery companies.

Analyst brief

The record contains four entries from January through September 2026, producing an index of 20.8 at the 93rd percentile within sidewalk delivery, a standing driven by category scarcity of comparable records rather than severity. All four entries carry low severity ratings of 1 or 2 and describe robots obstructing pedestrian infrastructure, colliding with a bus shelter, and one unit destroyed after becoming stuck on train tracks. The pattern is one of navigation and obstacle-avoidance failure in shared pedestrian and transit environments rather than harm to people. Coverage is entirely press-driven local reporting with no regulatory action or recall present, and the four events are distributed across the year rather than concentrated in a single cluster.
