A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
In Surgical / Medical, CMR Surgical, BD Rowa and Catalia Health have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Applied R&D for defense, space, and advanced robotics
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) develops advanced robotics and human-machine systems for defense and research programs, including the DARPA-funded Modular Prosthetic Limb. APL is a U.S.-based research laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, serving government customers rather than commercial prosthetics buyers.

RoboScore
32.36 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.
