First deep dataset
A · Motion & Actuation
Joints, drives, transmissions, motors and feedback—normalized at the test-condition level.
Next: Expand the integrated-joint file to 25–50 audited models with stronger thermal evidence
Open coverage page →Release boundary · 0.4.15
Coverage without inflated counts.
The current release contains 120 records and 1205 claims across actuation, cameras, 2D/3D LiDAR, compute, power and interfaces. It remains an audit sample, not a market census.
Partial exact-model coverage
B · Perception & Sensing
Cameras, LiDAR, radar, inertial and tactile sensing—mapped with calibration and interface evidence.
Next: Expand camera and LiDAR samples; add synchronization and verified host-interface records
Open coverage page →Partial exact-model coverage
C · Compute & Control
Main computers, accelerators and real-time controllers—compared beyond headline TOPS.
Next: Expand compute records; add workload, power-mode and production-lifecycle evidence
Open coverage page →Partial exact-model coverage
D · Power & Energy
Battery packs, BMS, conversion and charging—tracked with safety, thermal and duty-cycle conditions.
Next: Expand pack and BMS records; add charger, connector and certification relationships

E · Interfaces & Integration
The mechanical, electrical, data, timing, thermal and software edges where components succeed or fail together.
Next: Cross-system interface evidence model

The current readiness layer exposes missing decision fields instead of treating every published component record as engineering- or procurement-complete.

90 of 120 catalog models link to physical evidence; 977 claims remain unassessed.
This model-level coverage count includes clearly labelled direct, system-context, family-level and certification evidence; it is not an independent-verification rate. The separate claim ledger contains 284 mappings covering 228 unique claims: 14 supported and 214 inconclusive. Zero RCI physical component tests are complete.
Taxonomy coverage does not imply exact-model coverage.
The following promised or decision-critical areas currently contain no standalone component record. They stay visible until an exact model meets the admission boundary.

Coverage is editorially selected and visibly uneven.
The 120 records are a working sample, not a statistically representative frame of the global component market. No universe size, inclusion probability or market-share weighting has been established.
| Hardware layer | Records | Catalog share | Represented manufacturers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Actuation | 43 | 35.8% | 18 |
| Perception | 28 | 23.3% | 15 |
| Compute | 24 | 20.0% | 12 |
| Power | 14 | 11.7% | 7 |
| Integration | 11 | 9.2% | 5 |
Motion and actuation is the largest layer at 43 records (35.8% of the catalog). Its four most represented manufacturers account for 24 records (55.8% of that layer): ROBOTIS 9, CubeMars 6, HEBI Robotics 6, Harmonic Drive 3. This concentration reflects the sequence and accessibility of public-source audits, not market share or editorial endorsement.
Correction to an older coverage critique
Harmonic Drive (3 records), Nabtesco (2), maxon (2) and Unitree Robotics (1) are present in catalog 0.4.15. Their inclusion reduces a specific earlier gap; it does not make the sample comprehensive.
Current exclusion
No anonymous product-count race.
RCI does not claim a large database by scraping duplicate distributor listings, obsolete variants or fields without traceable conditions. Catalog 0.4.15 is intentionally auditable; its evidence states, source conditions and explicit unknowns remain visible instead of filling evidence gaps with assumptions.
