How we work
Robot Harbour reports on robotics and physical AI with a simple standard: readers should be able to distinguish verified facts from company claims, forecasts and editorial analysis.
Last updated: 14 August 2026. Questions or correction requests can be sent through our contact page.
Our editorial standard
- We verify material facts before publication and link to the underlying evidence wherever practical.
- We distinguish observed facts, company statements, forecasts and Robot Harbour analysis.
- We do not treat a demonstration, pilot or reservation as a commercial deployment.
- We state what remains unknown and record a last-verified date on research-led pages.
- We prioritise information that helps readers assess UK and European availability, support, regulation and commercial readiness.
Sources and verification
Our preferred evidence is a primary source: a regulator, company filing, official product page, court record, standards body, peer-reviewed paper or an authorised statement from a named organisation. Independent reporting is used to add context and challenge claims. Social posts, aggregators, search summaries and AI-generated answers may identify a lead, but they are not treated as evidence on their own.
Material claims are checked against more than one source when the evidence is incomplete or contested. Quotations and translations must preserve the speaker’s meaning. Organisations may be asked to correct facts before publication, but they do not receive approval over our conclusions.
The words we use
| Announced | A company has described a product or plan; this does not mean it can be ordered or used. |
| Prototype or demonstration | A system shown in a controlled setting, without evidence of routine operational use. |
| Pilot | A time-limited trial in a real or representative workflow. |
| Deployment | A system operating in a named workflow; scale, duration and human supervision still matter. |
| Commercially available | A genuine transaction route exists for the stated customer and region, such as a public sale, quotation or rental. |
| Company forecast | A forward-looking target from the company, not an independently established outcome. |
Corrections and updates
Send a correction request through our contact page and include the relevant URL plus supporting evidence. We aim to acknowledge substantive requests within two working days. Minor spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a note. A material factual correction is identified on the article. New evidence that changes the meaning of a story is labelled as an update. Removal is exceptional and considered only where publication creates a serious legal, safety or privacy problem that cannot be resolved by correction.
Ownership and funding
Robot Harbour is published by ECOMOVE UK Limited, company number 12086772. The company also operates in electric-mobility retail and service. Robot Harbour is currently an editorial and information publication: it does not sell robots or provide robotics consulting. Publication costs are met by the publisher.
At the date above, Robot Harbour carries no paid placement, sponsored editorial or affiliate links. If that changes, commercial content and compensated links will be labelled at the point of use.
Commercial independence and conflicts
- Coverage, ranking, correction and removal cannot be purchased.
- Manufacturers may provide factual corrections and primary evidence, but not approve our verdict.
- A relevant financial or professional conflict is disclosed on the affected work.
- Payment, valuable gifts, hosted travel or equipment supplied in return for coverage are not accepted. A temporary loan or hosted visit, if used, is disclosed.
Use of AI tools
AI tools may assist with discovery, comparison, extraction, translation, transcription, organisation, editing or drafting. An AI output is never treated as a source. A human editor checks claims, quotations, figures, links and framing and accepts responsibility for publication. We do not fabricate evidence, people or first-hand experience. Material AI-generated or altered media is labelled.
Accountability
Robot Harbour’s founding editor publishes under the disclosed editorial pen name Oliver Haines. This preserves a consistent accountable byline without inventing qualifications, employment history or personal experience. Guest contributors use their own bylines.
