The manufacturer landscape

Who makes
the robots.

From humanoid startups to century-old industrial giants — these are the companies building the machines that will change how work gets done. We track all of them. We're tied to none of them.

Why this page exists

We compare everything. We sell nothing.

We are completely independent of every manufacturer on this page. We don't build robots, we don't resell them, and we don't take commissions from anyone who does.

  • No commissions

    Our only income is the work we do for you. No manufacturer pays us, so no manufacturer can steer our advice.

  • All manufacturers considered

    When we recommend a route, it comes from your processes and economics — not from a catalogue or a partner deal.

  • Neutral by design

    If the right answer is that you shouldn't automate something yet, that's the answer you'll get.

Humanoids

Human-shaped machines built to work in spaces designed for people. The fastest-moving — and most hyped — corner of robotics. We separate the working reality from the demo videos.

Industrial & warehouse

Arms, cobots and mobile robots that already run factories and warehouses around the world. For most businesses today, these deliver the returns humanoids are still chasing.

The audit

We map your work to this market

The audit identifies where automation pays off in your operation, then specifies what kind of machine fits — and which manufacturers are credible candidates to deliver it.

The shortlist

You choose from options, not guesswork

Because we're independent, you see the trade-offs between manufacturers honestly — including the option of waiting until the technology and the economics are truly ready.

All product names, logos and brands are the property of their respective owners. Manufacturers are listed for information only — listing does not imply endorsement, partnership or any commercial relationship.
