Up to three
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

II
Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue
I
Manual
One action, on command
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.

04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Deep Robotics X30
The modular mount takes third-party sensors, but Deep Robotics publishes no payload compatibility matrix and no mass allowance, so qualifying a payload and predicting its effect on climbing falls to the buyer or the integrator.
IP67 sealing lets the robot work in substation spray and dust, and Deep Robotics publishes 2.5 to 4 hours of endurance with tool-free quick-swap packs. Extending a shift past that means either an operator on site to swap packs or the X30 Pro Dock, which recharges without handling but ties the route to a fixed return point.
Whisker Litter-Robot EVO
The compact body fits where larger Litter-Robots will not, and its smaller waste drawer fills faster, per Hello Subscription.
Weight tracking adds health insight, but readings can be off when a cat leans out onto the step, per Apartment Therapy.
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.
Deep Robotics X30
- Consumer or household use
- Not sold through consumer channels. Priced, warranted and supported as industrial equipment, and deployment assumes professional commissioning and a site-specific safety review.
- Sites outside the published operating envelope
- Deep Robotics publishes IP67 sealing across -20 to 55 C and stair and slope climbing to 45 degrees. Hotter, colder or steeper sites are outside what the manufacturer states, and no field data covering them is published.
- Routes longer than one charge with nobody on site
- Deep Robotics publishes 2.5 to 4 hours of endurance and 10 km or more of patrol range per charge. Anything beyond that needs either the X30 Pro Dock, so the robot returns and recharges on its own, or someone on site to swap battery packs.
Whisker Litter-Robot EVO
- Households with three or more cats
- Whisker rates the EVO for two cats at most; Vetstreet notes the Litter-Robot 5 and 5 Pro handle up to five.
- Cats over 19 lb or kittens under 3 lb
- Whisker's weight range is 3 to 19 lb. Lighter kittens need semi-automatic use with the unit switched off between cycles.
- Owners committed to non-clumping litter
- Whisker says pine, paper, pellet and most plant-based litters do not sift properly, and white crystal litter can confuse the drawer sensor.
- Homes with only 5 GHz Wi-Fi
- App notifications and history need a 2.4 GHz network, and Whisker sells and supports the EVO only in the US and Canada.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Deep Robotics X30
- After every use:Rinse dust or spray residue from the shell and wipe the sensor windows; check the leg joints for lodged debris.
- Between shifts:Swap the battery pack, which comes out without tools, or return the robot to the X30 Pro Dock to charge.
- Service intervals:Deep Robotics publishes no owner service schedule, consumable list or parts pricing for the X30. The enclosure is IP67 sealed and is not owner-serviceable: joint, seal and actuator work goes back to the manufacturer or the integrator that supplied the robot.
Whisker Litter-Robot EVO
- As needed: Empty the waste drawer and replace the liner when the drawer-full indicator lights; Whisker suggests up to 7 days for one cat.
- Monthly: Replace the carbon filter and OdorTrap packs, which Whisker recommends every 2 to 4 weeks.
- As needed: Top up clumping clay litter to the fill line.
- As needed: Deep-clean the globe using Whisker’s modular EasyClean design.
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.
