How we research and rank

Every robot in this catalog is built from primary sources — manufacturer pages, press releases and reputable robotics press — and each fact carries a source and a last-verified date.

Verification

• Specs are labeled official vs third-party reported; conflicts are shown, not hidden.
• Every record has a confidence score (0–100) reflecting sourcing depth and how much is officially confirmed.
• Availability uses an explicit state machine (buy now / reservations / lease / pilot / enterprise inquiry / research / discontinued). We never imply a robot is purchasable without an official source.

Ranking

Our "best of" ordering is a transparent, criteria-based score combining real availability, data confidence and US relevance — not user reviews and never pay-to-play.

What we don't do

No fabricated reviews, no fake ratings, no aggregated third-party ratings without basis. See our editorial policy and robot-data methodology.
