Built in 77 days and opened in April 2026, it serves as the flagship deployment platform for Medra's Physical AI Scientist system.
- Is ML001 actually deployed in the real world?
- ML001 is at the pilot stage: a trial is reported, but no deployment is yet verified at a named site on the DEPLOY registry. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
- Who makes ML001?
- ML001 is made by Medra, based in San Francisco, California, USA, founded in 2022.
- What are alternatives to ML001?
- On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to ML001 include Clean Water Pathfinder, RecycleOS, August Robotics Drilling Robot, Lionel.
- How does ML001 compare to Clean Water Pathfinder?
- ML001 and Clean Water Pathfinder (ACWA Robotics · 2 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. ML001 has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
- What is ML001's maturity stage?
- ML001 is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.
- Where is ML001 deployed?
- No verified deployments of ML001 are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
- Is ML001 safe?
- ML001 has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
