CAPITAL & EVIDENCE
JAXA has no confirmed funding round on file and has 1 cited customer but no deployment on record.
Shipped
1customer cited
named in a public source · no deployment on record
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against JAXA.
In Research & Prototype, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Integrated industrial and robotics systems for aerospace, energy, and mobility
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries builds the HTV-X cargo spacecraft for JAXA and supplies major aerospace systems across Japan and international programs. The company’s manufacturing footprint spans aerospace and industrial systems rather than a standalone robotics-only product line, and HTV-X is one of its space-robotics-adjacent programs for ISS logistics and on-orbit demonstration missions.

34.11 RoboScore + 0.00 Momentum· Weak evidence
Products, Range, Traction set the number — the three factors present for every company. Activity, Attention, 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.
