01 Classification

What each one does on its own.

The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own

02 Assessment

Where they actually differ.

The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

03 Measured against the class

How far apart is a long way?

A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

These robots share no measured specification with enough published figures to plot. That is a gap in the record, not a finding about the robots.

04 Ownership

What the numbers leave out.

The trade-off

What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.

Roborock QV 35A

Not recorded for this robot.

Tesvor S8 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner

The manufacturer states a breakpoint-resume feature and a 2-year warranty, both genuine commitments, but the product cannot currently be purchased at a verified US price.

8000Pa suction and ultrasonic carpet detection are higher-spec features for the class, offset by a standard dock with no self-emptying or self-washing capability.

Who each one is wrong for

Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

05 Evidence

How much each of these is standing on.

Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
