CAPITAL & EVIDENCE

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 Yamaha Robotics.
In Industrial Arm, Recognition Robotics, Hirebotics and Yarbo have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Industrial robots and SCARA systems for assembly and transfer automation.
Yamaha Motor’s Robotics Business Unit builds SCARA and other industrial robots, including the YK-TW orbit type and YK-XG series, for factory automation tasks such as assembly and transfer of workpieces. The business is based in Hamamatsu, Japan, and its product pages position these robots for precision pick-and-place and high-speed motion applications in industrial manufacturing.

RoboScore
66.34 RoboScore + 0.00 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.
