CAPITAL & EVIDENCE
Shipped
No deployment evidence on file
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Anybots.
In Research & Prototype, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Teleoperated humanoid robots for remote presence and task automation.
Anybots was a robotics company founded by Trevor Blackwell (Y Combinator co-founder) that developed teleoperated humanoid robots. The company built Monty, a dexterous teleoperated humanoid robot controlled via wearable sensors, and QB, a remote presence robot that allowed operators to see, speak, and interact with people at remote locations over the Internet. Anybots aimed to commercialize robots for home and office automation tasks.

RoboScore
44.37 RoboScore + 0.00 Momentum· Speculative — thin evidence
Products 65%, Depth 5%, Evidence 30% set the number, and every rated company has all three. Attention has no weight of its own — it is one of the two things Evidence is built from, and it can only ever add. Activity and Readiness describe the brand but never move it. A value we don't have reads —, never zero. Momentum is independently collected news coverage, worth at most 15 points and never a deduction — a maker we have heard nothing about keeps its full RoboScore. Claiming or paying moves nothing.

Public loss record
US makers file into registers that compel reporting — device adverse events to the FDA, driverless crashes to NHTSA, workplace deaths to OSHA. A maker with no record here has genuinely not had one filed against it.
