Robot types: Sidewalk delivery robot. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 24.3/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 4 of 7 among Sidewalk delivery companies with incidents (61 tracked).
Analyst brief
The record holds two entries: a 2023 injury incident in which a sidewalk delivery robot knocked down and injured a parking attendant at Arizona State University (severity 3), and a 2019 shutdown in which units were pulled from the University of Pittsburgh over an accessibility and safety hazard (severity 2). The two events span different campuses and four years, with the trajectory moving from a lower-severity operational shutdown to a higher-severity injury event. Both entries are press-reported, campus-specific incidents rather than formal regulatory actions.
