The human layer
The data is public. The experience is people.
Specs tell you what a robot should do. Members tell you what it actually did — in production, on real parts, under real deadlines. Atlas gives that knowledge structure, so sharing it is worth the effort.
01
Reviews with context
A review on Atlas carries its setting — production, pilot or lab — and what the product was actually used for. Experience you can weigh, not anonymous stars.
02
Community notes on the data
Spot a wrong spec? Propose a correction on the value itself. Curators review it, the fix lands in the graph, and the value’s provenance records that the community validated it.
03
Karma — contribution is the reputation
Accepted corrections and verified contributions earn karma; posts earn it when others find them helpful. An auditable ledger, not a like counter — badges are earned, never bought.
04
A CV that signals
Your profile is a Robotics CV that can say what you want next — open to collaborate, hiring, happy to mentor — with introductions on your terms.
What you can do with Atlas
From scattered research to clear decisions.
01
Compare sourced specs
Specifications are typed values against shared templates, so products compare cleanly across vendors — and every value carries its source.
02
Check interfaces and pairings
See what a product physically and digitally connects to — flanges, connectors, buses and APIs — with 50 connector types mapped across the catalog.
03
See real price indications
Live price indications on real products, with quote requests when you’re ready to talk to a supplier.
04
Find the people behind the products
Every product links to the organisations that make and integrate it — and members see the people who have actually used it.
One connected knowledge base
Everything in one place.
Products, organisations, people, events and prices — all connected, so one question leads naturally to the next.
What lives in the Atlas
- Products
440+ robots, grippers, sensors and software with typed, sourced specs.
- Organisations
190+ manufacturers, integrators, labs and communities behind them.
- People
Profiles as a Robotics CV: experience, skills, products worked with.
- Events
Trade fairs, conferences and meetups, organisers linked into the graph.
- Market pricing
Live price indications and quote requests on real products.
Who it’s for
Built for everyone moving robotics forward.
01
Manufacturers & operations teams
Compare options on sourced specs and real price indications — clarity before committing time and budget.
02
Builders & engineers
A Robotics CV: your experience, projects and the components you’ve worked with, as real connected entities.
03
Suppliers & vendors
Your catalogue, structured and connected — discovered by capability and interface, not just by brand.
04
Integrators
Be found in the context of the products you work with, and showcase what you’ve delivered.
05
Researchers
Models and software live as first-class catalog entries — a bridge from research to the companies who can apply it.
06
Students
Learn from structured, sourced knowledge — and grow a CV the industry can see.
What’s coming
Where the graph grows next.
The catalog is live today. The next layer connects it to real automation problems — in the open, with the community.
01
Use cases
Coming: real automation problems, documented — requirements, constraints and the evaluation behind each decision.
02
Community solutions
Coming: evidence-backed answers to those use cases, referencing the products, organisations and people in the graph.
03
Projects
In beta: automation builds published with their components, the people involved and the lessons learned.
Why you’ll love it
Honest by design.
01
Sourced or it didn’t happen
Every spec value carries provenance — from vendor-claimed to evidence-validated.
02
Neutral and vendor-agnostic
We recommend based on fit, not affiliation.
03
Typed, not freeform
Structured values with units instead of PDF dumps — that’s what makes real comparison possible.
04
Rooted in reality
Informed by our own integration projects and hands-on experience.
05
Made in Aachen, open to the world
Part of a strong local robotics ecosystem, collaborating internationally to keep the Atlas growing.
