Why Elephant Robotics has been in the news, across 2 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
We checked China’s national recall registers (2,426 notices). None name Elephant Robotics.
These registers mostly cover vehicles and household goods, so few robots appear in them.
