What this covers

The full data behind the BotRegistry comparator: one record per robot family, covering physical specs (height, weight, DOF, speed, battery, IP rating, compute), current pricing, manufacturer details, and where each spec was verified. This is the same data the comparator and its 398 individual robot pages render from — not a separate summary.

How it's compiled

Every record starts from the manufacturer's own product page, spec sheet, or press materials. A checking tool (verify_links.py, run by hand) re-fetches each source page, hashes its visible text, and flags drift; a variant's specs are only marked verification_method="fetched" in a pass that actually retrieved and read that page on verified_date. Records not yet independently re-checked are marked "backfilled" — adopted as a starting baseline with no verification claim attached, and checked first next time. No specification value is estimated, inferred, or generated by a model; a value BotRegistry could not confirm is left null, and the reason is recorded per record in unknown_fields (see the field dictionary below). Prices are different: a price marked price_type "estimated" is a published analyst, press or target figure, labelled as such.

398 records each. 398 of 398 records carry at least one null spec field (2940 null fields total, each with a stated reason — see unknown_fields below). No field is ever a guessed or estimated value.

Update cadence

Records are re-checked by hand, not on a fixed schedule. Each record's verified_date says when its source page was last read, and verification_method says whether it was read at all. This export regenerates from the same source files as the live pages every time the catalog is rebuilt, so it is never a separate hand-maintained copy and is never older than the catalog itself.

Changelog

2026-10-17 — Software and 3D model flags: new columns software_checked, has_urdf, has_mjcf, has_usd_isaac, has_gazebo_sdf, has_cad, has_sdk, has_ros, has_ros2, has_robodk and has_sim_model. Each is true (a public file or package exists), false (none found on software_checked) or null (not checked yet). Only yes/no is published, never the links.
2026-10-17 — Taxonomy: two new fields on every record. category_id is the robot type (one per robot, 12 types listed in data/categories.json); applications is a list of application ids (where the maker markets the robot for use, 12 ids in data/applications.json). Every robot now has one of the 12 types and its applications. Collaborative arms moved from industrial-arm to cobot or desktop-arm; the old wheeled-mobile type was split into amr, autonomous-forklift, warehouse-robot, delivery-robot, cleaning-robot and wheeled-humanoid, and removed.

Every spec and price carries its source URL; unpublished values are null with a stated reason.
2026-10-16 — Price rule: a variant's current price now comes from its newest date only; when every entry of that date has no amount (e.g. 'Contact Sales', 'no public price'), the variant has no current price and older figures are history. Same-day ties go to the lowest sourced purchase price instead of file order. Unsourced estimates for Digit v4, Walker S1, STAR1 and X2 retired with dated no-price entries. 56 robots: Dobot Atom D (stationary dual-arm data-collection station) split from Dobot Atom into its own record with its price history; Unitree Go2 Air and Go2 X added as Go2 variants.

Specs and prices of 42 existing robots re-checked against manufacturer and reseller pages: unsourced values removed and recorded as data gaps, new dated price entries with source URLs (old entries kept), UR5e marked discontinued (renamed UR7e). Many product images replaced with cleaner official photos.
2026-08-29 — Initial publication: CC BY 4.0 export of the BotRegistry comparator (39 robots, 21 manufacturers) as dataset.json and dataset.csv, with an explicit field schema, per-record source attribution, verification date and method, and a stated reason for every null spec value.
