Verified deployments, not claimed fleets
This ranking counts deployment records that cleared DEPLOY’s review, so it measures where robots are confirmed operating, not how many a company says it has shipped. A maker can claim a large fleet and still sit low here if few of those deployments are independently on record. The gap between the two is the point.
Common questions
Which types of robots are deployed the most? (the short answer)
aerial, with 341 verified deployments on record, ahead of Autonomous vehicles and Humanoids.
Is this verified or claimed data?
Verified. Every figure is a count of reviewed deployment records on the DEPLOY registry, not a claimed fleet size. A company can claim more than shows here if those deployments are not independently on record.
How is the ranking built and how current is it?
By counting reviewed deployment records and recomputing as the registry updates. As of Oct 2026, 2,665 reviewed deployments are counted.
