RoboScore
72.70 RoboScore + 7.77 Momentum· Very 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.

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 UBTECH Robotics has been in the news, across 18 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.
