What home robots actually exist
A reference for multi-purpose home robots: machines with hands, meant for households, that do more than one kind of chore. Every fact carries a source and a confidence label. Robots that do not meet the criteria are published too, with the reason, because “why isn’t the one I read about listed?” is the question most readers arrive with.
The state of the field, in one paragraph
Every robot in this catalogue that is shipping to households today ships in mainland China. 2 can be pre-ordered in the United States. That is an order placed against a future shipping date, not a robot you receive. In the other 12 tracked regions, nothing in the catalogue is on sale or open for order. That gap (real products doing daily chores in some markets and nothing offered in most) is the single most useful thing this site currently shows.
By status the catalogue is 3 shipping, 2 pre-order, 2 announced and 1 beta. Where a vendor has said nothing about a region, the site says “Not announced” with the date it last checked. A vendor saying nothing about your country is not the same as a vendor saying no.
