The question it answers

Which robots are real, and how far has each got?

Which robots are real, and how far each has got: humanoids, robotaxis, surgical robots, home robots, drones and robots for aging at home, in plain English with every claim sourced.

Every morning the site reads regulator records, company filings, makers' newsrooms and trusted outlets, and updates each robot's dated track record. Its stage follows from published rules, never from opinion.

It never rates or ranks robots, never sells a stage, and never invents a fact. Where its sources are silent, it says so.

Who it's for. Written for curious people who aren't robotics engineers, with a section on robots that help people live at home as they age.

The evidence ladder

Never the judge.

A stage shows how far a robot has got, not how good it is. Two flags sit beside it: whether the evidence is independent or company-reported, and whether a person operates the robot remotely.
