A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Italian Institute of Technology.
In Humanoid, UBTECH Robotics, Agility Robotics and SoftBank Robotics have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Pioneering advanced robotics for disaster response, healthcare, and industrial automation with torque-controlled quadrupeds and humanoid platforms.
The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) develops cutting-edge robotics including HyQ (hydraulic quadruped), COMAN (humanoid), and iCub (child-like humanoid). These systems are used in disaster zones, healthcare facilities, and industrial settings. IIT operates primarily in Italy and collaborates globally on robotics research, focusing on torque control, soft robotics, and adaptive locomotion.

RoboScore
37.02 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.

Consumer product alerts from this country reach the EU Safety Gate, which we read. Industrial, workplace and medical incidents never enter it, so a blank record says nothing about those.
