RoboScore
63.73 RoboScore + 1.04 Momentum· Strong 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.

On the company boards
- #23 of 142·Cobot·best robot 63.96 + depth 3.33 + news 1.04 = total 68.33
- #57 of 107·Humanoid·best robot 57.83 + depth 0.00 + news 1.04 = total 58.87
- #191 of 338·Industrial Arm·best robot 52.15 + depth 0.00 + news 1.04 = total 53.19
A board total ranks makers within one category. It is built from the best robot's RoboScore, a capped credit for more ranked robots, and news. It is not this company's RoboIndex above. How boards work
Milestones
Elephant Robotics listed myCobot 320 M5 among its product offerings and noted an M5 joint-production relationship with Shenzhen Mingzhan Technology Co., Ltd.
Elephant Robotics marketed myCobot 320 Raspberry Pi as a 6-DoF cobot for makers and scientific researchers.

In the news
4 events · last 90 days
Why Elephant Robotics has been in the news, across 4 outlets — collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore — the evidence half of the RoboIndex — and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
Public loss record
We read both of China’s national recall registers end to end — 2,426 notices. Four name a robot, all drones. Chinese registers are built around vehicles and household goods, so a blank record is weak evidence either way.
