Robot Category Taxonomy Explained
Why a company can appear under more than one heading.
How categories are built
| Axis | Examples |
|---|---|
| Application | Industrial, service, medical, agricultural, special purpose |
| Structure | Articulated, SCARA, delta, parallel, quadruped, humanoid |
| Mobility | Mobile robots, warehouse and delivery systems |
| Supply chain position | Components, complete systems, integration, software |
Why overlaps happen
A company that both builds robots and integrates systems appears in both lists, because a buyer looking for either should find it. The profile states the dual role rather than hiding it. Distributors are labelled as such and excluded from manufacturer counts.
