Autel Robotics

Robot types: VTOL drone. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 28.5/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 14 of 26 among Drones / eVTOL companies with incidents (550 tracked).

Analyst brief

The record holds one entry for Autel Robotics: the FCC's December 2025 addition of the company to its Covered List, barring new drone models from the US market, coded regulatory with severity 3. This is a regulatory action rather than a safety incident, reflecting a market-access restriction rather than a reported malfunction, fire, or injury. The record is a single regulator-driven action with no trajectory data beyond this one listing.
