Analyst brief
SoftBank Robotics's record contains one entry: a May 2018 disclosure by security researchers that the Pepper robot lacked basic authentication and security controls, classified as a cyber-type finding with the lowest severity rating in this set, 1. This is a press-reported security research finding rather than a field failure, recall, or regulatory action, and the record shows no operational incident or injury. The single low-severity entry is consistent with a vulnerability disclosure rather than a realized harm event. SoftBank Robotics's index of 2.1 ranks 12 of 13 companies in Consumer robotics with incident history.
