Robot Service Map.

Compare

Compare robots across the directory

The Compare page lets you place robot models side by side — by category, payload, and documented EU service status. It is the fastest way to answer the question that matters before a purchase: not just which robot fits the job, but which robot can actually be serviced where you operate.

How to use the compare view

Start from a category — humanoid, cleaning, delivery, quadruped, or mowing — and filter by the criteria that matter to you. The compare columns always include a service-facts column, so that the documented service path is never hidden behind the specifications.

  • Category — humanoid, commercial cleaning, delivery, quadruped/biped, outdoor mowing
  • Payload — the rated carrying capacity in kilograms
  • EU availability — authorized, pre-order, marketplace, or none (see Method)
  • Service status — the documented service-path label for the model

Why the service-facts column matters

Two robots can have nearly identical specification sheets and completely different service realities. One may have an authorized distributor with a spare-parts warehouse in the Netherlands; the other may be available only through a marketplace listing with no repair path. The service-facts column surfaces that difference immediately, so it can’t be lost in a wall of numbers.

What you can compare

Every model in the directory is comparable on a common set of fields. The full field list is:

Reading the service-status labels

Each model carries one of four labels. They are a factual classification of the documented service path, not a quality ranking. The labels are:

  • 🟢 Authorized service point — a manufacturer-authorized service point, distributor, or integrator in the EU/EEA is publicly documented.
  • 🟠 Pre-order only — sold or announced for the EU/EEA, but not yet shipping with service infrastructure.
  • ⚪ Marketplace listing — appears on a third-party marketplace or reseller site without manufacturer authorization.
  • ⚫ No service point identified — no public evidence of an EU/EEA service path found.

See the Method page for the full verification standard, evidence grading, and the indicator weighting behind the EU-ready score.

Compare by category

The directory is organised by category so that comparisons stay meaningful. Comparing a commercial floor-scrubbing robot against a humanoid tells you little; comparing two cleaning robots with different service coverage tells you a lot.

Humanoid robots

Fast-moving category with the widest gap between specification claims and service reality. Payload and degrees of freedom matter, but the service-path label matters more, because the repair network for humanoids is the least established of any category.

Commercial cleaning

The most mature category in the directory. Fleet uptime and spare-parts availability dominate the buying decision, so the compare view weights distributor and parts channels heavily here.

Delivery robots

Deployment support and on-site maintenance are the critical factors. An integrator network with local technicians is worth more than a long spec sheet.

Quadruped and biped research platforms

For developers, the ROS ecosystem and distributor support dominate. These models are often bought for research, where a responsive distributor and a healthy community matter most.

Outdoor mowing

Seasonal maintenance and dealer coverage are the key factors. A retail dealer network with local service capacity is the strongest signal for this category.
