So we're building it. One structured, sourced record per machine — arms to humanoids — assembled in the open. No hype, no invented specs: what we don't know stays empty.
Every robot gets a single canonical entry — the same fields across arms, cobots, mobile bases, legged and aerial platforms — so they're actually comparable.
We gather fast — scrapers, datasheets, PDFs — but nothing is trusted until it's traced to a source and checked. Provenance is the product; unknown values stay null, never guessed.
A consistent way to classify robots as the field explodes — the part that stays useful long after any single spec goes stale.

This is the mould, not a mock-up. Every field is traceable to a source or it isn't filled. We won't write what we can't cite.
The archive fills in the open, one verified record at a time.
no invented dataA reference — not a control system. Not an RMS, not fleet orchestration, not robot software. The value is the archive and the taxonomy: the thing the robotics wave will need to look things up in.
