ROBOTS — An Encyclopedia for Humans is the Michelin star for robots. Robots need quality control. Somebody has to open the box, run the unit until something gives, and write down what happened. That somebody is us.

ROBOTS — An Encyclopedia for Humans is independent. It accepts no manufacturer funding and no paid placement. Every unit is assessed under one standard, R · O · B · O · T · S, and the record is kept for the people who will live with these machines.

The standard applies to more than hardware. ROBOTS — An Encyclopedia for Humans grades the skills humans train for robots: the simulations, the animations, the reinforcement-learned behaviours that decide what a machine can actually do. It is built to be the place where a trained skill is shared, graded, and licensed, and where the human who trained it is credited and paid.
