TeardexAbout
A reference for what is inside robots.
Teardex records which AI model, chip, sensors, training method and software each robot runs on, and shows where every fact came from.
Why it exists
Robot makers publish what their robots can do far more readily than what is inside them. The details are scattered across product pages, manuals, code repositories, press releases and the announcements of the companies that supply the parts.
This site gathers those details into one page per robot, so you can see at a glance how a robot is put together, and compare one with another.
Who it is for
People building robots, who want to see how working robots are assembled and which parts and tools are proving themselves.
People following the industry, who want to know which suppliers sit inside the most robots.
Anyone curious about what is really going on inside a machine they have seen in a video.
What a robot page shows
Each robot is broken into the five layers of its brain:
AI model
The software that decides what the robot does.
Chip
The computer inside the robot that runs it.
Senses
How the robot sees and hears the world.
Training
How the robot was taught.
Software
The system that ties it together and lets people program it.
Each part has its own page too, with its key numbers, a price guide, its strengths and trade-offs, and every robot that uses it.
How to read it
Every fact carries one of three marks:
Open any fact to see its source and the date it was checked. Where a maker has not said what is inside, the page says "Not disclosed" and does not guess.
Part pages also include our own analysis and, now and then, a price estimate. These always carry a label saying they are ours. They are never presented as confirmed by a company.
What is covered
Only robots you can buy, or that are working for a paying customer. Prototypes and concept videos are left out until there is a real product to describe.
So far: 5 robots, 52 sourced facts and 33 parts. More are added regularly.
Independence
Teardex is independent. It is not connected to, paid by or endorsed by any robot maker or parts supplier. Photos and logos belong to their owners and are shown to identify the products described.
Everything here is built from public sources. Nothing on the site is investment advice.
If something is wrong
Robots change and sources go out of date. Every robot page has a correction form at the bottom. Send a link that shows the right answer and it will be checked. When a fact is corrected, the old version stays on the record.
