Yarbo
Products: robot-mower, home-robot. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 42.1/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 3 of 13 among Consumer robotics companies with incidents (97 tracked).
Analyst brief
Yarbo's record contains two entries within one month: a May 8, 2026 injury involving a robot mower that ran someone over (severity 4) and a May 7, 2026 cybersecurity vulnerability exposed in approximately 6,000 Yarbo robot lawn mowers (severity 2). Yarbo's index of 42.1 ranks 3 of 13 companies in Consumer robotics with incident history. The record is press-driven and reflects two distinct failure modes, mechanical safety and cybersecurity, rather than a single repeated cause, though both surfaced within the same short window.
