Universities & labs
102 universities and national research organisations, chosen by ICRA and IROS papers in 2023–2025 and ranked on publications and open-source robotics code. Research labs are listed under their university.
How we rank universities & labs
The score measures public research output in robotics and the reach of the institution's open-source robotics code. It is not a measure of teaching or of any partnership with Robotics Center.
| Input | Weight | How it is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Papers | 70% | Papers in the ICRA proceedings and at IROS published 2023–2025 with at least one author affiliated with the institution, counted in OpenAlex. Each count links to the paper list on the institution's profile, which links the OpenAlex query. RSS and CoRL are not included because OpenAlex does not index them completely. |
| GitHub stars | 30% | Stars on public, non-fork repositories of the institution's official robotics-lab GitHub organisations (an organisation counts only when the lab's own website links to it or its profile states the affiliation), log scale. |
Scoring. Each input is scaled 0–100 against the best entry in this category (log scale where noted) and combined with the weights above. Missing data scores 0 and is shown as n/a; nothing is estimated.
Sources. OpenAlex works API; GitHub REST API. The list is the 100 institutions OpenAlex types as education with the most ICRA and IROS papers, plus the Chinese Academy of Sciences and CNRS, national research organisations ranked since the first edition. Lab sub-units (BAIR, CSAIL, ETH RSL) are counted under their university, not separately.

Robotics companies
116 independent robotics startups, A–Z, with their disclosed funding rounds, robots on sale and open-source presence. Listed companies and subsidiaries follow.
† Disclosed funding and the number of products in the Robotics Center store are shown for context.
How companies are selected
Who is listed. Independent companies that build physical robots, robot hardware or AI for robots. Self-driving cars, drones and software-only tools are not included. A company counts as independent unless a public source shows a stock-market listing or a parent company; those are listed separately below. The list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement or a partnership.
What is shown. Rounds: financing rounds announced 2023–2025 in a press release or reputable outlet, one per round (rounds announced together count once). Lines on sale: distinct robot or hardware product lines offered for sale on the company's own product page. GitHub stars: stars on public, non-fork repositories of the company's official GitHub organisation (verified domain, or linked from the company's site). Each number links to its source; anything no source states is n/a, never estimated.
Sources. Company press releases and newsrooms, investor announcements, stock-exchange filings and established press (including Chinese financial press for Chinese rounds); company product pages; GitHub REST API. Paywalled aggregators are not used as sources.

How we rank model companies
The score (0–100) measures public, checkable evidence about a company's robot models. It does not measure private capability. A company that publishes no benchmark results and no weights can still have strong models. Every input is computed from the data on each company page, and every number there links to its source.
| Input | Weight | How it is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Published benchmarks | 35% | For each scored benchmark, the company's best result divided by the best result any company has published, averaged over the benchmarks it reports. No published results scores 0. Results come only from the model's own paper, model card or the official benchmark leaderboard. Scored: LIBERO (4-suite average success, %); SimplerEnv Google Robot, visual matching (%); SimplerEnv Google Robot, variant aggregation (%); SimplerEnv WidowX / Bridge (%); CALVIN ABC→D (average length, 0–5); RoboArena (pairwise rating). |
| Open weights | 20% | Share of the company's listed models whose weights the public can download. |
| Adoption | 20% | GitHub stars on the company's most-starred official model repository, on a log scale relative to the most-starred repository in the list. Hugging Face downloads are shown on company pages but not scored, because gated repositories report zero. |
| Released models | 15% | Number of publicly announced, named models, capped at 5. |
| Disclosed funding | 10% | The sum of the funding rounds listed on the company's profile that were disclosed in USD, on a log scale from $10M to the largest sum in the list. Rounds reported only in other currencies are listed but not converted or counted. This input applies only to private startups and robot makers. For big-tech divisions, research labs and listed companies it is n/a, and its weight is shared across the other inputs in proportion. |
Sources. arXiv papers and official model cards for benchmarks and parameters; official leaderboards (RoboArena); the GitHub and Hugging Face APIs for stars and downloads; company announcements and established press for funding. Missing values are shown as n/a, never estimated.
Updated 19 Oct 2026. Benchmark protocols differ between papers, for example in fine-tuning and number of trials, so small gaps between close scores are not meaningful.
Robotics investors
114 well-known robotics investors ranked on the robotics rounds they were publicly named in, 2023–2025.
How we rank robotics investors
The score counts publicly announced robotics financing rounds an investor took part in. It reflects public activity only: deals that were never announced, or that do not name the investor, are not counted, so it is not a measure of fund size or returns. Robotics means physical robots, robot hardware and AI built for robots; self-driving cars, drones and general AI companies are excluded.
| Input | Weight | How it is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Robotics rounds | 70% | Rounds announced 2023–2025 that name the investor, each with a public announcement. Leading or co-leading a round counts 1.5×. |
| Companies | 30% | Distinct robotics companies across those rounds. |
Scoring. Each input is scaled 0–100 against the best entry in this category (log scale where noted) and combined with the weights above. Missing data scores 0 and is shown as n/a; nothing is estimated.
Sources. Startup and investor press releases and established press (including Chinese financial press for Chinese rounds). Paywalled aggregators were used at most to discover a deal, never as its source. Coverage of these 114 investors is not exhaustive; corrections are welcome.
