Founding editor
Oliver Haines is the disclosed editorial pen name used by Robot Harbour’s founding editor for source-verified reporting prepared and approved through the publication’s editorial desk.
Transparency note: Oliver Haines is a pen name, not a fictional employee. Robot Harbour does not attribute invented qualifications, affiliations or first-hand experiences to this byline.
Coverage
The Oliver Haines byline covers humanoid robots, manufacturers and funding, physical AI, commercial availability, pricing, deployments, UK and European distribution and support, regulation and market structure.
How the reporting is prepared
- Material facts are checked against primary sources and dated where freshness matters.
- Company claims and forecasts are identified rather than presented as settled fact.
- Demonstrations, pilots, deployments and genuine purchase routes are kept distinct.
- AI tools may assist the workflow but are not sources; a human editor reviews and accepts responsibility for every published claim.
Accountability
The publication’s verification, corrections, independence and AI-use rules are set out in Editorial Standards & Corrections. Guest contributors receive their own bylines. To challenge a fact, supply evidence or ask about a story, use the contact page.
What this byline means
A stable, disclosed editorial identity makes Robot Harbour’s work traceable while keeping the focus on evidence. It does not imply credentials or access that have not been earned and documented.
