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 Realtime Robotics.
In Collaborative Robot, Universal Robots A/S, FANUC and Kassow Robots ApS have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Simulate, test, and optimize robotic systems
Realtime Robotics builds RapidPlan, software for collision-free robot motion planning and programming, and RapidSense, a related sensing solution for industrial and collaborative robots. The company says its tools help manufacturers design, deploy, and optimize automation faster across robotic workcells, with use cases in industrial automation and collaborative robot applications. It is based in Boston and operates in the US and internationally through manufacturing-focused partnerships and customers.

RoboScore
56.22 RoboScore + 0.51 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.

Why Realtime Robotics has been in the news, across 5 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
US makers file into registers that compel reporting — device adverse events to the FDA, driverless crashes to NHTSA, workplace deaths to OSHA. A maker with no record here has genuinely not had one filed against it.
