Products: automation-operator. Risk band: Low RobotRisk index 13.9/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 44th percentile of 62 other companies.
Unitree Robotics has two recorded events: a June 1, 2026 injury in which a humanoid robot kicked a boy during a public demonstration in Xinjiang, and a May 1, 2025 malfunction in which a Unitree H1 humanoid nearly struck engineers during testing. Both carry severity 2, producing an index of 17.2, the 56.5th percentile within the broad other category. The record is press-driven, spanning both a public-facing injury incident and an internal testing near-miss, indicating exposure across both demonstration and development settings. The two-event span across roughly thirteen months does not establish an accelerating trend, but it does show recurrence rather than a single isolated incident.
