Robocensus launches catalog of 74 walking robots
1 reports · 1 sources
Nick (/u/ntsili) created and launched the Robocensus catalog, covering 74 walking robots across humanoid, quadruped, and bipedal categories, recording specifications, prices, and availability status, and releasing machine-readable JSON data under a CC BY license with no key or registration required. The catalog annotates context for each specification: speeds distinguish walking, running, and rolling; range values indicate maximum or minimum; prices include date and currency; fields not publicly disclosed on manufacturers' official pages are left blank rather than estimated. Nick says change history is not currently public. Updates are handled by a scheduled agent that scrapes each robot's official page, compares snapshots, and submits pull requests, which go live only after Nick reviews and merges them.
