No deployment evidence on file
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Kubota.
In Agricultural, Carbon Robotics, Vitirover and GEA Group have deployment evidence on file.

Kubota builds agricultural machinery including combine harvesters and rice transplanters, including the Agri Robo Rice-Transplanter, which it describes as the world’s first autonomous rice-transplanting machine without an onboard operator. Its rice-transplanter line is aimed at mechanizing labor-intensive rice planting and harvesting, with sales across Japan and other Asian markets.

RoboScore
56.86 RoboScore + 3.34 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 Kubota 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.

Japanese workplace accidents reach the labour ministry and product incidents reach NITE. We read both, and they are small files.
