How the country grouping works
TechniaHQRobot assigns a model to Japan when the retained manufacturer or original developer record is based there. Manufacturing partners, component suppliers, customer sites and event venues do not change that classification.
The page reports the source-backed catalog fields available for each model. Missing dimensions, price or availability are left unpublished. Commercial status and public price status are separate because a company can announce a commercial product without publishing a price or opening sales in every region.
The current catalog includes 3 Research humanoid, 1 Entertainment research humanoid, 1 Communication humanoid, 1 Entertainment humanoid, 1 Teleoperation humanoid. These counts describe the retained catalog, not the complete national robotics industry.
