General description of the method used: The process involves editorial research and judgment to form the initial larger pool of robots, followed by evaluation and ranking using multiple AI tools based on an editor-defined weighted set of criteria. These initial rankings were then used to produce the final, shorter, ranked list by aggregating the results through a consistent point-based system. Full details of the method are kept on file for reference but are not published.

Disclaimer:
The method described above was developed by the editor solely for creating the list presented here and has not been reviewed by independent experts. The list is not authoritative, scientifically validated, or fully comprehensive, and may contain inaccuracies or errors in the method, data, or execution.

The list does not consider verified usage statistics or sales figures due to the absence of reliable data. Inclusion, omission, or ranking of any robot does not imply endorsement or criticism, and other notable robots may be missing.

The list is for informational purposes only. It is not advice of any kind. Users bear full responsibility and risk for any use of or reliance on the information provided. The method may be modified at any time without notice. The editor/site owner disclaims all liability for any consequences arising from the use of this list.
