Classification, not recommendation

A plain-English
classification of
every consumer robot.

We place each consumer robot on a 5-level Autonomy Ladder, so you can see how much it actually does on its own and how much stays your job.

The framework

The Autonomy Ladder: five tiers of what a robot does on its own.

Every classified robot sits on this scale. The progression is not a quality ranking. It describes a widening circle of conditions the robot can handle without you.

How we work

Editorial independence by design

Our classifications, our evidence, and our business model are structurally separated. The separation is the design, not a promise.

  • Independent assessment. Evidence depth varies by product and is stated clearly on each page.
  • No paid placements. Manufacturers do not influence classifications, coverage, or how robots are described.
  • Evidence-first reporting. Claims are treated as claims and labeled accordingly.

New coverageNow tracking humanoid robotsThe same Autonomy Ladder that classifies your robot vacuum now classifies humanoids. Most are less autonomous than you’d think.
