Heat Index
Serious50/100
A composite of competitive footprint, funding, press velocity, active partnerships, and supply-chain edges. Different from the Intelligence score below (which is per-form-factor productization). Non-robotics companies cap at 25.
Reality vs attention
MIT CSAIL draws attention at the 9th percentile but verifies reality at the insufficient-data level among other robots.
