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 Biorobotics Laboratory at EPFL.
In Research & Prototype, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.

RoboScore
49.75 RoboScore + 0.00 Momentum· Adequate 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.

Salamandra robotica II was developed by EPFL's Biorobotics Laboratory as an amphibious robot that can walk and swim.
Press coverage
Public loss record
Switzerland sits outside the EU Safety Gate and we have found no national product-incident register covering robots. A blank record here is unmeasured.
