About DecisionWanted

Expert Robot Reviews for Business

Independent, evidence-led research for teams evaluating robots for real-world operations.

Our Mission

The robotics market is moving faster than the information about it. Vendors publish marketing; buyers need evidence.

DecisionWanted compiles and cross-checks the documentary record for each robot — manufacturer datasheets and manuals, regulatory registries, procurement records, published deployment reports and independent teardowns — and states the source and date behind every claim.

Our audience is manufacturing executives, CTOs, automation managers and procurement teams who need to know whether a specific robot fits their operation, and what is actually verifiable about it.

How We Build a Review

Every review is assembled from primary sources. Each data point carries its origin, so you can check it yourself.

01

Technical Specifications

Payload, reach, degrees of freedom, speed, positioning tolerance and other measurable parameters, as published by the manufacturer and cross-checked against manuals and regulatory filings where available.

02

Reliability & Support

Stated MTBF, warranty terms, spare-parts availability and service footprint. Where the manufacturer does not publish these, we record that.

03

Integration & Programming

Fieldbus and protocol support, ROS availability, SDK and API documentation, and known integration constraints.

04

Safety & Regulatory Status

Applicable regime and standards, the edition cited by the manufacturer, declarations of conformity where published, notified-body involvement where applicable, and recall records.

05

Total Cost of Ownership

Published price where available, plus the cost components a buyer must budget for: integration, safety infrastructure, spares, service contract, training and energy.

06

Deployment Evidence

Publicly documented deployments, unit counts disclosed in filings or procurement records, and reported field issues. Where no public deployment record exists, we state that explicitly.

Editorial Principles

Sourced claims

Every specification is tied to a document and a date. If we cannot cite it, we do not publish it as fact.

Transparent method

Our evaluation criteria and evidence grades are published above, so any conclusion can be checked against its source.

Reviews are updated

Records are revised when a new hardware revision, firmware release or regulatory change occurs. Each page shows the date it was last verified.

Right of reply

Manufacturers and distributors may submit corrections and additional documentation at any time. Submissions are recorded with attribution and the date received.

Commercial relationships are labelled

We work with manufacturers, distributors and partners on sponsored content, featured placements, advertising and corporate licensing. Any paid item carries a visible label identifying it as such.
