Never Fact without a reputable primary. | ## Executive read ### BLUF March is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion or educational-kit safety action was located in the window. CNET’s 10 March industry feature still writes Robosapien as “coming soon.” ### Key judgments 1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX weekly reports, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated March 2004. 2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Michael Kanellos (CNET, 10 March) dates a $99 Wow Wee “RoboSapien” as “will be coming soon,” and writes that iRobot “has sold hundreds of thousands of units of the Roomba” at around $200. Catalog and coming-soon copy are not numbered. 3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Roomba, Automower, and Robomow units remain in homes and yards. Official silence is not a finding that none were running. ### Analytic labels - **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record - **Assessment** — analytic judgment - **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed - **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap ### Source grades - **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed - **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated - **C3** — useful but requires caution (typical for forums) --- ## No numbered signals This month produced **zero** in-window spine-grade signals. February’s Toy Fair unveil is not re-numbered. CNET 10 March “coming soon” is the same unsold Robosapien SKU. DARPA Grand Challenge coverage in the same feature is out of class. **Forum / community notes.** - none found. --- ## Forward indicators 1. A dated Robosapien in-shop or street notice that is not only “coming soon.” 2. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action. 3. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff). 4. Any RAPEX or CPSC AIBO page. 5. Any dated wet-floor home robot that changes a trust or safety path. > **Collection integrity.** Window = March 2004 only. **Excluded:** CNET 10 March “Invasion of the robots” (Roomba sales color; Robosapien “coming soon”; PackBot / Predator / hospital couriers out of consumer class). No CPSC Roomba / robotic-mower / pool-robot / companion-robot / toy-robot / educational-kit numbered page dated March 2004. No RAPEX robotic-mower or AIBO weekly report. Forum empty. Thin month left thin. *LRRK — security assurance for systems that sense, move, and act.*
