About RobotCosts
RobotCosts tracks what robots cost, what kind of price each figure is, and how current the evidence behind it is. Every price and specification is a dated observation with a named source.

What this site is
RobotCosts answers a specific question: what does this robot cost, and how reliable is that number? Much of robot pricing is available only by quote, published figures often cover starting configurations, and websites frequently copy specifications without identifying the original source.
The site shows each price with its amount; whether it is a purchase, lease, subscription or quote; whether it is a starting or list price; its confidence level; and its date checked. These details appear together wherever a price appears.
Boundaries
What this site is not
- Not a seller. RobotCosts sells nothing, holds no inventory and takes no orders. It links out to the sellers whose pages it reads.
- Not a review site. There are no ratings, no stars and no customer reviews, because none are collected.
- Not a price predictor. Nothing here forecasts what a robot will cost. The history is a list of dated readings and stops at the most recent one.
Who pays
Independence
Some outbound links carry affiliate tracking, marked in the interface and tagged rel="sponsored nofollow". Commission does not affect which offer appears as the headline price. RobotCosts ranks offers by evidence quality, seller authorization and whether the item can be ordered. Full disclosure is in the methodology.
Corrections
Getting something fixed
Every robot page has a correction form. If a price is wrong, out of date, or missing a qualification that changes what it means, report it with a source and it will be checked. Accepted corrections appear in the robot’s change log with the date.
Orientation
How to read a page here
A robot page answers the price question first, in a heading phrased as the question itself, with key price details immediately beneath it. The rest of the page lists offers, price history, cost-of-ownership facts and estimates, specifications, developer compatibility, similar robots, sources, verification dates and changes.
An em dash means no value has been observed. It never means zero. See the source policy for what each kind of document is trusted to settle.
