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 Cornell University.
In Research & Prototype, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Cornell Biorobotics and locomotion research lab
The Cornell Ranger robot was built at Cornell University’s BioRobotics and Locomotion Lab, led by Andy Ruina, in Ithaca, New York. The lab’s work centers on legged robotics and locomotion research rather than commercial product lines, and Ranger is a bipedal robot designed to demonstrate efficient walking. Public sources identify the lab as part of Cornell University, not as a standalone robotics company.

RoboScore
36.69 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.
5 of 6 factors known. How it's calculated
Milestones
Newswise reported Ranger walked 40.5 miles on a single battery charge, a new record at the time.
Cornell published Ranger 2011 materials describing the robot and its locomotion design.
Ranger walked 14.3 miles in about 11 hours, setting an unofficial walking record.
Press coverage
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.
