Editorial Standards
Robot news is full of demos, targets and big numbers. These rules are how we try to tell you what actually happened.
How we choose stories
We look for news that changes what robots can do, what they cost, who builds them and who pays for them: product launches with prices or dates, funding and deals, independent tests, rules and trade decisions, deployments in real workplaces. We do not cover a story just because a video went viral.
How we check
- We go to the primary source whenever we can: the company's own release, the filing, the research paper, the official statement, the product's own store page for prices.
- We say who a number comes from. "NVIDIA says", "the company's own figure", "Musk's target" are part of the fact, not decoration.
- We separate goals from results: a production target is not production, capacity is not deliveries, a letter of intent is not an order, a supervised pilot is not full deployment.
- Prices are list prices from the maker's own store or price list, with the date we checked. Prices in other currencies are converted at a stated rate and rounded.
How we label stories
- Confirmed The fact comes from the company or an official document, or from at least two independent outlets.
- Single source Only one outlet, or only one party, reports it. It may well be true, but we could not confirm it independently.
- Disputed Sources disagree. We tell you who says what.
Defense and war
We report military robots as attributed facts: who said it, and whether it can be verified. Figures from one side in a war are always labelled as such. We do not publish operational details that could put people at risk.
People and images
We do not generate images of real robots, real people or real events with AI. Product photos and videos belong to the companies credited. Abstract backgrounds and illustrations made with AI are always labelled "AI illustration".
No advice
Nothing we publish is investment advice or a recommendation to buy a stock or a product. When we compare robots and prices, we tell you what each one does and what it costs, and what we do not know.
Independence
No company pays for coverage. If we ever run advertising or affiliate links, they will be clearly marked and will not change what we report.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it, say so on the page and list it on our corrections page. You can report an error through our contact page.
