News about PAL Robotics, the maker — not about this robot specifically, except rows marked this robot. Collected and classified independently across 4 outlets, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes this robot's RoboScore — the evidence half of the RoboIndex — and it can move it up a board by at most 15 points. See all PAL Robotics news
