MechArchive — building the reference archive of the world's robots

◆ MECHARCHIVE

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The archive · v0.1 · 73 records

An archive of every robot<br>worth cataloguing.<br>Now filling, in the open.

So we're building it. One structured, sourced record per machine —<br>arms to humanoids — assembled in the open. No hype, no invented specs: what we don't<br>know stays empty.

How it's built

01<br>One record per machine

Every robot gets a single canonical entry — the same fields across arms, cobots,<br>mobile bases, legged and aerial platforms — so they're actually comparable.

02<br>Scraped wide, verified deep

We gather fast — scrapers, datasheets, PDFs — but nothing is trusted until it's<br>traced to a source and checked. Provenance is the product; unknown values stay<br>null, never guessed.

03<br>An open taxonomy

A consistent way to classify robots as the field explodes — the part that stays<br>useful long after any single spec goes stale.

Empty, on purpose.

This is the mould, not a mock-up. Every field is traceable to a source or it isn't<br>filled. We won't write what we can't cite.

The archive fills in the open, one verified record at a time.

What it isn't

A reference — not a control system. Not an RMS, not fleet<br>orchestration, not robot software. The value is the archive and the taxonomy: the thing<br>the robotics wave will need to look things up in.
