Top Research Robots
68 robots ranked by RoboIndex — our evidence score. Three of them are on the podium, and every one of them can take the badge for it.
- Rank
- Where you stand. Position by RoboIndex — our evidence score. Moves slowly, and only on new evidence.
- Momentum
- What's happening now. A separate 0–100 score built from news events. Decays when a maker goes quiet.
- Movers
- A lens, not a page. The same list re-sorted by momentum change — see this week's.
The rest of the standing
4–25 of 68
The week column only moves when a robot's own score moved. Rank position drifts whenever a neighbour moves, so publishing that as an arrow would be inventing movement. A robot that did not change reads hold.
Robots first sold before 2020 are held out of the standing. Robots with no recorded launch year stay in — an unknown year is not evidence of age, and treating missing data as old would quietly delete most of the catalogue.
Momentum belongs to the maker, not the robot. It is labelled that way in the table, and it reads as an em dash where we have no news signal at all — never as a zero, which would claim the company is quiet when all we know is that we have not heard anything.
