| # The Machine Record: incidents involving commercial physical robots |
|
|
| A mirror of the public register at [themachinerecord.com](https://themachinerecord.com). |
| Each row is a documented incident involving a commercial physical robot |
| (robotaxis, delivery robots, warehouse and industrial machines, surgical |
| systems, humanoids), with a permanent case page that carries the timeline from |
| first report through any recall, investigation, lawsuit or settlement, and the |
| archived sources. |
|
|
| - Four tables: cases (24 columns), timeline events, sources with tiers and |
| archived copies, links to NHTSA Standing General Order filings. Codebook, |
| annotation guidelines and limitations on GitHub: |
| https://github.com/vzolot/machine-record-data |
| - Refreshed daily from the site's open API |
| - Not a safety rating: fleet sizes are not public, so rates cannot be computed |
| honestly from this file |
