Verified robot incidents

Every recorded robot incident in the DEPLOY registry. Collisions, injuries, fatalities, recalls, regulatory actions. Each one tied to a real deployment, model, or company, and sourced.

This is the sourced accountability record, not a safety essay. Every incident below names a subject and cites at least one source. Injury and fatality entries require at least two independent sources before they enter this index. Retracted entries are excluded from this listing and remain reachable at their canonical URLs with the retraction recorded. How we verify →
