RoboScore
64.40 RoboScore + 4.18 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.

On the company boards
- #16 of 51·Research·best robot 37.85 + depth 0.00 + news 4.18 = total 42.03
A board total ranks makers within one category. It is built from the best robot's RoboScore, a capped credit for more ranked robots, and news. It is not this company's RoboIndex above. How boards work

Why ROBOTIS has been in the news, across 6 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
Korea’s national recall board holds 4,245 notices and not one robot. Its workplace accident search cannot be read without a browser, so that half is unknown.
