Frequently asked questions

A public leaderboard and directory of robotics companies and their products. We currently track 929 robots from 1,976 companies across 38 countries, ranked by an objective Product Score so buyers can compare specs, pricing, and availability without wading through marketing pages.

Yes. Browsing, searching, comparing, saving to a watchlist, and the Concierge AI are all free for buyers. We don't paywall content, gate categories, or charge for the leaderboard.

The Product Score is a weighted composite over verifiable attributes — sourced specifications, payload, reach, autonomy, deployment evidence, documentation quality, and similar factors that vary by category. Missing factors are excluded and the score is normalized over what's present, so a sparsely-documented product is not penalized for our coverage gaps.

Full breakdown: /methodology.

No. Rankings are independent of subscription tier.

This is a non-negotiable rule. Verified, Pro, and Enterprise tiers unlock visibility surfaces (badge, featured slot, lead capture) but never modify the Product Score or its position on any leaderboard. Think CoinMarketCap: the rank is the rank, regardless of who's paying for premium placement.

The company has been claimed by a senior employee, identity-verified by our team, and is actively maintaining its profile. Verified is a signal of accountability — not an endorsement of the product. Unverified pages are still ranked normally; they just lack a company-vouched layer of edits.

Scraped specifications are refreshed on a rolling cadence (weeks, not months). Verified companies can update their own pages instantly via the company dashboard. Each robot page shows the source and last-updated date for material claims.

Primary sources: official company sites, datasheets, regulatory filings, and trade-show registries. Secondary sources fill gaps. All scraped data passes through an admin review queue before it reaches the public profile — we do not auto-publish unverified scrapes.

Email support@robolist.ai with the URL and the corrected value (with a source link if possible). We triage corrections within a few business days. If you represent the company, claiming the profile is the fastest path — claimed profiles can edit specs directly.

A free chat assistant at /concierge that answers buyer questions by searching the Robolist database and citing specific robot pages. It only quotes data that lives in the catalog — no hallucinated specs, no marketing summaries.

Passenger autonomous vehicles (robotaxis, self-driving cars, autonomous shuttles), military weapons platforms, consumer toys, and general consumer telepresence devices. Robolist is a directory of commercial robots used in industry, logistics, agriculture, healthcare, education, and adjacent sectors.

Yes — the watchlist (heart icon on any robot card) lets you save robots for later, and the comparison tool renders side-by-side spec tables for any two-or-more robots in the same category. Both are free and require only a sign-in.

No. We use first-party analytics for aggregate traffic patterns. We do not sell buyer browsing data to listed companies, and Pro-tier lead capture only shares a buyer's contact info when the buyer explicitly submits a form on a company's page. See /privacy for specifics.

A small independent team. We're funded entirely by the listing tiers — no VC, no advertising, no affiliate kickbacks. More on the team and motivation at /about.
