what it is

The Machine Record is a public register of incidents involving commercial physical robots: robotaxis and autonomous vehicles, delivery robots, humanoids, industrial arms and cobots, warehouse, surgical and consumer robots. Each case is followed from the first report through any investigation, recall, fine, lawsuit or settlement, and every case lists its sources. It is for journalists, researchers, insurers, lawyers and safety teams who need a sourced record of what went wrong with robots in the physical world and what happened next. The data is free under CC BY 4.0: a JSON API without a key, daily CSV and JSON mirrors on GitHub, Hugging Face and Kaggle, a Zenodo DOI for citation, RSS feeds per company, and an MCP server at https://themachinerecord.com/api/mcp for AI assistants. A themed reading of the NHTSA Standing General Order crash file sits alongside the cases. Email alerts, an API tier and company dossiers are paid.
