Most Robots Still Aren't Insured. YAS and Robolist Are Changing That.

HONG KONG — 2nd November, 2026

Artificial intelligence's next phase is getting a body. Humanoid robot shipments are up sharply in 2026, with global shipments reaching roughly 30,000 units in the first half of the year alone, nearly 300% higher than a year earlier. But humanoids are only the headline category. Robolist.ai ("Robolist"), an independent market intelligence layer for robotics used by investors worldwide, tracks more than 4,200 robots from over 1,300 manufacturers across categories including industrial arms, warehouse AMRs, cobots, commercial cleaning, delivery, hospitality, and home robots, and growth is accelerating across nearly all of them.

Across every one of those categories, most of what is shipping today carries no insurance. YAS, a data risk intelligence platform that helps insurers underwrite EV, robotaxi, and now robotics risk, today announced a strategic partnership with Robolist to close that gap — starting with a free Risk Score for the companies Robolist already ranks, and a path to coverage for those who want one.

Putting safety first, for an industry still finding its footing

Robotics is moving from pilots to mass production, and that shift changes who is exposed and what's at stake. YAS and Robolist both see the same underlying problem: an industry growing faster than the risk infrastructure built to support it. Pairing YAS's risk intelligence with Robolist's independent market data gives the industry one more layer of transparency, a shared, safety-first foundation that the companies believe is necessary for robotics to grow into a trusted, durable category rather than a fast-moving one with uneven guardrails.

What it means for robotics firms

Every manufacturer listed on Robolist is already independently ranked. Starting with this partnership, any of them can also request a free Risk Score, built with YAS, covering their systems across whichever category they operate in, not just humanoid. A strong, transparent risk profile is becoming a competitive advantage in its own right, a signal to enterprise buyers and partners that a company takes safety seriously. There is no cost to check it and no obligation attached.

What it means for investors

Robolist's independent data has always given investors a clear picture of what a company has actually raised and shipped. Adding YAS's Risk Score introduces a second, forward-looking signal: a working estimate of operational risk exposure, sitting alongside funding and deployment evidence. Together, the two offer a more complete basis for diligence, and support the kind of informed, patient capital that helps the category grow in a healthy, sustainable way rather than on hype alone.

What it means for buyers

Enterprises deciding whether to deploy a robot fleet have historically had almost no independent way to compare risk across vendors. The Risk Score gives buyers a transparent reference point alongside Robolist's existing rankings, and a direct route to insurance for the deployments they choose to move forward with, so adoption decisions can be made with more confidence and less guesswork.

Status

The partnership is in its exploratory phase under a signed Memorandum of Understanding, beginning with Hong Kong, with other markets under consideration as it develops. The Risk Score is an indicative analytical tool, not a safety certification or a guarantee of coverage; insurance, where available, is issued by licensed carriers.

Quotes

"Robotics is scaling faster than the risk infrastructure around it. You can't insure what you can't measure — so we start by measuring. A free Risk Score, built on live operating data, gives every robotics company a transparent read on their exposure and, when they want it, a path to coverage. That's how a fast-moving category becomes a durable one." — Andy Ann, Founder, YAS

"We built Robolist as an independent market intelligence layer for robotics. Partnering with YAS deepens that layer. There's a lot of natural overlap between what we do. Robotics insurance is a long-term project that benefits everyone in the industry, and it matters more now that the category is moving into mass production. Part of that is simply caring about what happens to the people and businesses actually using these machines." — Matthew Cheung, Co-founder, Robolist.ai

About YAS

YAS is a Hong Kong-based risk intelligence platform for the machine economy, turning live operating data from vehicles, fleets, and robots into real-time risk scores used by licensed insurers to underwrite fairer, faster coverage. YAS works with insurance carrier partners across robotics and humanoids, EV and commercial fleets, with autonomous vehicles next.

YAS與Robolist.ai建立策略合作

為機械人企業提供免費風險評分及投保途徑

為邁向量產的機械人行業，建立更安全、更透明的基礎

香港，二零二六年十一月二日

人工智能正走向實體化。2026年機械人出貨量急升，其中全球人形機械人上半年出貨量約達30,000台，較去年同期增長近300%。然而，人形機械人只是其中一個焦點。獨立機械人市場數據平台Robolist.ai（「Robolist」）目前追蹤超過4,200款機械人、逾1,300家製造商，涵蓋工業機械臂、倉儲自主移動機械人（AMR）、協作機械人、商用清潔、送遞、酒店服務及家用機械人等類別，而幾乎所有類別均在加速增長。

在這些類別中，目前出貨的機械人大多未有投保。YAS是一個數據風險智能平台，協助保險公司為電動車、自動駕駛的士及機械人風險進行承保。YAS今日宣佈與Robolist建立策略合作，以填補這一缺口：首先為Robolist已排名的企業提供免費風險評分，並為有需要的企業提供投保途徑。

安全為先，助行業穩步發展

機械人正由試點走向量產，風險承擔者及風險性質亦隨之轉變。YAS與Robolist看到同一個根本問題：行業的增長速度，快於支撐它的風險基建。結合YAS的風險智能與Robolist的獨立市場數據，可為行業增添一層透明度，建立共同、以安全為先的基礎。雙方相信，這是機械人行業成長為可信、長久的產業所必需的，而非成為一個高速發展卻欠缺規範的行業。

對機械人企業的意義

所有收錄於Robolist的製造商均已獲得獨立排名。透過是次合作，他們亦可登記索取與YAS合作建立的免費風險評分，涵蓋其所屬類別的系統，不限於人形機械人。清晰透明的風險概況正逐漸成為競爭優勢，向企業買家及合作夥伴表明企業重視安全。免費查閱，毋須承擔任何義務。

對投資者的意義

Robolist的獨立數據一直讓投資者清楚了解企業實際的融資及出貨情況。加入YAS的風險評分後，投資者將多一個前瞻性指標：對營運風險的初步估算，與融資及部署數據並列。兩者結合，為盡職調查提供更完整的基礎，支持理性而長線的資本，讓行業健康、可持續地發展，而非單靠炒作。

對買家的意義

企業在決定是否部署機械人隊伍時，過往幾乎沒有獨立方法比較不同供應商的風險。風險評分為買家提供一個透明的參考，配合Robolist現有的排名，並為決定落實的部署提供直接的投保途徑，讓採用決策更有信心、更少猜測。

現況

是次合作目前處於探索階段，雙方已簽署合作備忘錄，首先從香港開始，其他市場將隨合作發展再作考慮。風險評分屬參考性分析工具，並非安全認證或承保保證；如提供保險，將由持牌保險公司承保。風險評分獨立於Robolist排名，不會影響任何企業的排名。

引言

「機械人的發展速度，比圍繞它的風險基建更快。無法量度的，就無法承保，所以我們從量度開始。以實時營運數據為基礎的免費風險評分，讓每家機械人企業清楚了解自身風險，並在有需要時提供投保途徑。這正是一個高速發展的行業走向長久的方法。」—— YAS創辦人 安宇昭

「我們建立Robolist，是要成為機械人行業的獨立市場數據平台。與YAS合作，令這個平台更有深度，雙方業務亦高度互補。機械人保險是一項惠及整個行業的長遠工程，在行業邁向量產的今天更顯重要。歸根究柢，是為了保障機械人的實際用家。」—— Robolist.ai聯合創辦人 張冠中
