Products: n/a. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 16.9/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 87th percentile of 16 sidewalk delivery companies.
The record holds two entries: a 2023 injury incident in which a sidewalk delivery robot knocked down and injured a parking attendant at Arizona State University (severity 3), and a 2019 shutdown in which units were pulled from the University of Pittsburgh over an accessibility and safety hazard (severity 2). The two events span different campuses and four years, with the trajectory moving from a lower-severity operational shutdown to a higher-severity injury event. This yields an index of 14.9, placing Starship at the 86.7th percentile of the sidewalk-delivery category, with a low band assignment despite the two-event count. Both entries are press-reported, campus-specific incidents rather than formal regulatory actions.
