Verification and corrections policy
A robot's status on Robopear moves up only when a source shows the next level of evidence. This page defines each level, what counts as a price, how disagreements between sources are shown, and how to report an error.
From claimed to shipped
- Claimed
- Demonstrated
- Piloting
- Shipped
| Status | Means | Evidence that qualifies | Never counts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claimed77 models on 20 Oct 2026 | The maker says the robot exists, can do a task, or will ship. | Maker page, press release or regulatory filing. | A render, a teaser or a third-party rumour. |
| Demonstrated14 models on 20 Oct 2026 | The robot performed a task that can be checked. | Independent media that saw it; an unedited recording; a maker video or release that states a measurable result (distance, time, count). | A vendor video without a measurable quantity; staged photos. |
| Piloting17 models on 20 Oct 2026 | The robot works at a named customer site in a test or proof of concept. | Customer statement; maker release naming the customer and site; analyst note naming the site. | A memorandum of understanding without a site; a trade-show booth. |
| Shipped14 models on 20 Oct 2026 | Units were delivered to buyers. | Customer statement; filing or audited report; customs or invoice record; a maker delivery announcement that names the recipient or the quantity. The stamp shows which. | Pre-orders, deposits, reservations, “available to order” pages, production capacity. |
Each step keeps its own source and date, so a card shows the whole path, not only the latest level. A status is never raised on a promise: a delivery date announced by the maker stays a claim until the delivery is documented.
What counts as a price
- For sale
- A list price in the vendor's store or price list, or a monthly rental rate. 15 models on 20 Oct 2026.
- Pre-order
- A price the maker takes orders or deposits for, with no documented delivery. 6 models.
- Enterprise quote
- Sold on request. Placeholder figures that a store shows instead of a price count here. 53 models.
- No published price
- Checked, and no price is published. 48 models.
“Checked date” is the day the source was last read. Dates more than 30 days before the build read “last checked”; more than 90 days, “not verified”.
When sources disagree
Both values are shown, each with its owner: shipments by tracker, rounds by source, specifications by document. Values are never averaged. A disagreement inside one vendor's own documents is shown as published, with both documents linked.
Report an error
Write to hello@robopear.com with the subject “Correction:” and the page or robot. Include the field, the correct value and a public source for it. A correction that a source supports replaces the value; the record's checked date moves to the day of the change, and the old value stays visible in the open data history. Reports are answered from hello@robopear.com.
