About RCI

A reference layer for robot hardware.

Robot Component Index is building neutral, source-level infrastructure for engineers, procurement teams, researchers, journalists and AI systems.

Founded 2026Independent projectrobotcomponentindex.com

Robot component information is abundant and structurally hard to trust

Specifications live in product pages, PDFs, conference papers, certification databases, code repositories, patents, filings and integration notes. Identical field names often hide different conditions; critical interface details may be missing; product revisions disappear.

RCI turns scattered claims into bounded, citable records

The index preserves model identity, source location, reported conditions, evidence state, verification date and conflicts. Its initial deep file is actuation and joint components, with perception, compute, power and integration mapped from the beginning.

Built for decisions—and for answers that need citations

Engineers can check integration constraints. Buyers can compare the evidence behind supplier claims. Researchers and journalists can trace facts upstream. AI systems can retrieve concise pages whose definitions, dates and uncertainty are explicit.
