Frequently Asked Questions

We receive questions about our editorial process, legal structure, and how readers can use our content. Here are answers to the most common ones.

Content & sources

Where does RoboLens get its technical information?

We compile information from publicly available technical papers, manufacturer specifications, patent filings, and conference presentations. Each article links to primary sources where possible. Our writers track developments in AI-enabled robotics and large-scale humanoid platforms, synthesizing material from research institutions, open-source model repositories like Hugging Face, and published engineering documentation. We do not have access to proprietary internal data or undisclosed prototypes.

Do you test the robots you write about?

No. RoboLens is an educational publication, not a testing lab. We analyze publicly documented capabilities, published benchmarks, and demonstrations shared by research teams or at industry events. When we describe performance characteristics, we cite the source of that data. Our role is to explain and contextualize developments in robotics, not to conduct independent hardware evaluation or certification.

Can I suggest a topic for an article?

Yes. Use the contact page to send topic suggestions. We prioritize subjects that fit our educational scope: AI integration in small-scale robotics, advances in humanoid locomotion and manipulation, comparative developments between major research ecosystems, and the engineering challenges in making robots more capable. We cannot cover proprietary product launches, investment opportunities, or promotional requests.

Using the site

Can I link to RoboLens articles in my course materials?

Yes. You may link to any article for educational purposes. If you plan to reproduce substantial portions of text or reuse content in a commercial setting, contact us first. Standard attribution applies: include the article title, author if listed, and a link back to the original page. We encourage educators to use RoboLens as a supplementary resource, provided it is presented as one perspective among many and not as authoritative technical documentation.

Do you offer RSS or email updates?

Not at this time. The site currently publishes articles on an irregular schedule as new developments warrant coverage. You can bookmark the articles page and check back periodically. We are a small editorial team and do not operate a subscription infrastructure. If demand grows, we may add a simple notification system in the future.

Is the content available in other languages?

No. All articles are written in English. Translating technical content accurately requires significant editorial resources we do not currently have. Automated translation tools may help non-English readers access the material, but we cannot vouch for the accuracy of machine-translated versions. If you plan to translate and republish any article, please contact us first to discuss proper attribution and corrections workflow.

Disclaimers & accuracy

What does "educational purposes only" mean here?

It means RoboLens content is not professional advice, product certification, or investment guidance. We explain technical concepts and describe publicly known developments in robotics. Our articles should not be used as the sole basis for purchasing decisions, safety assessments, regulatory compliance, or financial investments. If you need authoritative guidance on any of those topics, consult qualified professionals in the relevant field. We exist to inform and educate, not to recommend or endorse.

How do you handle corrections if an article has an error?

Report errors via the contact page. Include the article title, the specific claim in question, and a link to a reliable source that contradicts it. If we confirm the error, we correct the text and add a note at the bottom of the article indicating what was changed and when. For significant factual errors, we may also issue a standalone correction notice. We take accuracy seriously, but we are a small editorial team and mistakes can occur.

Why so many disclaimers about investment and claims?

Robotics and AI attract speculative interest, exaggerated marketing, and regulatory scrutiny. We include disclaimers to make clear that RoboLens does not validate manufacturer claims, assess investment merit, or provide legal or safety certification. Our content describes what has been publicly documented; it does not constitute endorsement or independent verification. The disclaimers protect both readers and the association by ensuring no one misinterprets educational analysis as professional advice or commercial promotion.
