1customer cited
named in a public source · no deployment on record
- SAIC-GM· 2025foxnews.com ↗
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Kepler Robotics.
In Humanoid, UBTECH Robotics, Agility Robotics and SoftBank Robotics have deployment evidence on file.

RoboScore
60.17 RoboScore + 0.58 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.

Why Kepler Robotics has been in the news, across 2 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.
