The monthly roundup

Commercial robot incidents, February 2025

1 commercial robot incidents dated February 2025 so far (provisional, verification backlog), 1 with a person hurt and 0 fatal. 0 cases were added to the register during the month. Most involved Unitree Robotics (1). Largest class: humanoids (1).

Provisional. 17 reports published in or just after this month are still in the verification queue, so the count will rise as they clear. A lower figure here means a slower queue, not fewer incidents.

Incidents are counted by the date they happened, 2025-02-01 to 2025-02-28. Counts measure what was reported in the press the register reads and cleared verification; fleet sizes are not public, so nothing here is a rate. The register holds 255 cases in all. Rules on the methodology page. Previous month: January 2025. Quarterly view: the quarterly record.
