Why Distalmotion has been in the news, across 9 outlets, collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore (the evidence half of the RoboIndex) and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
Safety reports
Switzerland sits outside the EU Safety Gate and we have found no national product-incident register covering robots. A blank record here is unmeasured.
