Humanoid robots

Analyst brief

The humanoid category is represented here solely by XPeng Robotics, with one severity-1 malfunction entry: a public fall by its Iron humanoid robot during a Shenzhen debut in January 2026. This single low-severity row ranks XPeng 5 of 8 companies in Humanoid robots with incident history, indicating either a small comparison set or a category with generally minimal recorded severity. The event is press-reported and occurred in a public demonstration context rather than commercial deployment. As represented, the category shows one isolated, low-severity public-demonstration incident with no pattern of recurrence.

Company risk ranking

Index 0-100: each documented incident is weighted by severity and by how well-sourced it is, discounted as it ages (half its weight every 3 years), then summed per company and scaled on a log curve so the highest-risk company worldwide is 100. Rank in industry: position among companies in the same industry that have at least one documented incident. Band groups the index: Critical (75+), High (45-74), Elevated (15-44), Low (under 15 with at least one incident); None documented means no public incident was found, which is not proof of safety.
