Top Education Companies
39 makers, ranked on their education robots alone — not on their size, their funding, or how much of their catalogue we happen to hold. The robot standing ranks the machines themselves.

#CompanyBestScore
A maker is ranked here on its education robots only. Not on its global rating, and not on its size. A company that is strong in one category and weak in another ranks differently on each board — that is the point of having one board per category.
Score = best robot, plus credit for repeating it. The headline number is the maker's best eligible education robot, plus up to 5 points once it fields 8 of them. The credit is capped, so a large catalogue cannot buy a rank — catalogue size partly measures how much of a maker we have collected, which is our business, not theirs. Both parts are printed above.
Deployments, funding and press are not in this score. Seven in ten companies have no deployment record on file and funding is blank for exactly the makers a buyer trusts most, so ranking on them would rank our own reading rather than the market. Nothing here can be bought, claimed, or subscribed to.
No movement is shown yet. Company history began on 29 Jul 2026; a weekly change needs two readings, so the first arrows appear after the next freeze rather than being invented now.
How we rank — the evidence behind every robot score these standings are built from.
