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 RobCo.
In Industrial Arm, Recognition Robotics, Hirebotics and Yarbo have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →RobCo builds AI‑powered, modular industrial robots and a full‑stack automation platform for SME manufacturing, enabling flexible automation of tasks such as machine loading/unloading and palletizing. Its patented hardware kits integrate with the RobCo Studio no‑code software platform, targeting small and mid‑sized industrial firms in Europe and the United States.

Why RobCo has been in the news, across 41 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.
Safety reports
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.
