How these profiles are sourced
A profile starts when news reporting names a founder or executive of a robot company. Before anything is written, we collect facts about the person from that reporting, other coverage and public reference pages, and keep only facts that a source states in its own words.
Every profile links its claims to those sources. When later reporting adds something new, such as a new role or a product launch the person leads, a dated news section is added to the existing profile instead of starting a second page.
Profiles cover professional roles, companies and public statements. They leave out net worth, pay, age, family and health.
Bottom Line
Use this roster to see who leads the company behind a robot you are researching, then open the profile for that person's role, background and sourced news.
