All case studiesRobotics & autonomous systems · Axonex security-robot fleet

The reserve layer for a fleet of autonomous robots.

Axonex runs 100 security-patrol robots across Hong Kong properties. YAS reads what each robot is doing; YAS Assurance sits on top of Zurich's standard cover and catches the rare, severe failures a normal policy was never written for — eight of them.

Tail-risk layer above Zurich's Humanoid Safe Deployment Program

The gap

A fleet of autonomous robots fails differently from a single machine.

Standard insurance was built for mechanical failure on one unit. But one bad firmware push can take down an entire fleet at once; 'the robot chose a harmful path' is disputed territory no policy was written for; and downtime, recalls and regulatory shutdowns can run far past a standard policy's caps and waiting periods.

The approach

A reserve-backed pool, priced on what each robot is actually doing.

YAS Assurance is a protection pool, not a policy. Each robot streams what it's doing — patrol hours, navigation faults, collisions, sensor health, software version — straight to YAS. Usage is measured against what was agreed, risk is scored for both pricing and day-to-day operations, and a defined set of severe events pays out from a dedicated reserve anyone can audit. It sits on top of Zurich's Humanoid Safe Deployment Program.

How it works

01

Stream robot telemetry

Each Axonex unit pushes operational data directly to YAS — no central platform in between.

02

Meter exposure & score risk

Actual patrol hours and missions are metered against contracted bands; baseline score prices, live score runs ops.

03

Cover eight tail-risk events

The pool covers the fleet-wide, autonomous and regulatory failures a standard policy excludes or caps.

04

Settle from reserve

Defined ratios, caps and waiting periods — with telemetry-driven alerts to intervene before a loss.

In detail

Eight failure modes a standard policy won't touch

TR-01

Correlated fleet failure

One root cause — a bad firmware push, a shared defect — takes down many robots at once.

TR-02

Autonomous navigation failure

The robot's own decision-making causes harm despite working sensors.

TR-03

Cyber-physical incident

A breach turns into physical damage, disruption or data exfiltration.

TR-04

Extended downtime

Disruption runs past the standard policy's business-interruption cap.

TR-05

Excess liability

A claim exceeds the per-occurrence or aggregate limit.

TR-06

Fleet recall & remediation

A recall or regulatory order forces a fleet-wide retrofit or stand-down.

TR-07

Regulatory shutdown

An authority suspends operations pending a safety review.

TR-08

Surveillance & data liability

Privacy or facial-recognition errors create liability standard policies exclude.

Outcome

Coverage for the risks that actually keep a robotics deployment up at night.

Operators get fleet-wide, autonomous and regulatory protection that standard cover leaves on the table — priced on real usage, backed by reserves they can verify, and paired with interventions that head off losses before they happen.
