Adrian Flux and TMHCC launch the UK's first home insurance for humanoid robots
From the Robots digest for Oct 30, 2026
What happened: Adrian Flux and Tokio Marine HCC International launched what they describe as the UK's first home insurance product covering humanoid robots, putting household machines inside a standard consumer policy frame rather than a commercial one.
What's genuinely new: a named consumer-insurance product for domestic humanoids — a cost-of-ownership layer for home robots that hasn't existed under home cover before, from two insurers rather than a robot maker's own warranty scheme.
Watch: pricing and underwriting terms, which robot makes and models the policies accept, whether other insurers follow with their own cover, and how much actual UK household deployment sits behind the launch.
