02Taxonomy & platform explorer

Every robot, placed on the four axes that matter

Filter real platforms by operating environment, trace their profile across autonomy, networking, perception and control, and compare up to three models head to head.

Parallel coordinates chart

Design profiles, without forcing a single score

Each line is a platform. Drag vertically on any axis to bound a range; ranges combine. Click an axis to clear its range, and click a line to pin it to the comparator.

The weight, payload and operating-time axes show manufacturer-declared maxima, each under its own conditions (runtime, for instance, is usually measured unloaded). They are not simultaneous values.

Sort by any column. The table only lists platforms that pass the active filters and ranges.

≈ editorial estimate

Each value shows its test condition underneath. Payload and operating time are independent maxima: at maximum payload, runtime is lower.

Side-by-side comparator

Up to three platforms, head to head

Pin platforms from the chart, the matrix or each robot's page. This page's link keeps your selection so you can share it.

Interactive classification matrix

Autonomy level × coordination capability

Crossing both axes reveals the system architecture: most real deployments cluster at conditional or high autonomy with centralized coordination. Decentralized swarms remain almost empty in the civil market.

Every spec sheet links its sources and states test conditions (review 2026-11). Manufacturer figures are maxima under declared conditions, not simultaneous. Values marked ≈ are editorial estimates because no consistent public figure exists. Verify with the manufacturer before a purchase decision.
