Korthos tracks robotics, drones, autonomous systems, industrial automation, and the supporting stack behind them.

That includes the machines themselves, the components and infrastructure that make them work, and the funding, deployments, partnerships, launches, and supply-chain signals shaping the sector.

Core coverage

Robotics

Korthos covers companies, products, and events across robotics, including humanoids, industrial robots, cobots, warehouse robots, agricultural robots, surgical robots, construction robots, inspection robots, marine robots, service robots, and field robotics.

Drones and autonomous systems

Korthos covers uncrewed and autonomous systems where physical operation is central. That includes UAVs, UGVs, USVs, autonomous maritime systems, autonomous industrial vehicles, defense robotics, drone infrastructure, autonomy payloads, and operational systems.

Industrial automation

Korthos covers automation when it is tied to physical production, logistics, inspection, or machine operation. That includes factory automation, warehouse automation, robotic workcells, machine tending, automated inspection, CNC automation, and physical-AI systems for manufacturing.

Supporting stack

Korthos also covers the infrastructure that enables robots and autonomous systems.

That includes embodied AI, robot intelligence, robot foundation models, world models for physical systems, robot training data, simulation, synthetic data, digital twins, teleoperation, perception, sensing, machine vision, actuators, motors, reducers, end effectors, edge compute, autonomy hardware, fleet management, orchestration, and deployment software.

Boundary areas

Some categories are covered only when the link to physical systems is clear.

Physical-AI and world-model companies are in scope when their work is clearly tied to robotics, drones, autonomous systems, manufacturing, simulation, or industrial deployment.

Autonomous driving is adjacent rather than core. Korthos covers it when the event connects to autonomy stacks, sensors, simulation, mapping, fleet operations, robotics suppliers, industrial autonomy, or major capital-market signals.

Defense technology is in scope when it connects to robotics, drones, uncrewed systems, autonomy, sensing, targeting, C2 for autonomous platforms, or battlefield automation.

Manufacturing AI is in scope when it controls, automates, inspects, simulates, or optimises physical production workflows.

Out of scope

Korthos generally does not track generic AI companies with no clear physical-systems link.

That includes general LLMs, copilots, coding agents, synthetic-media tools, enterprise software not tied to machines or automation, software-only defense tools with no robotics or autonomy layer, broad world-model labs where robotics or physical deployment is incidental, and transport companies without a clear autonomy or robotics connection.

What Korthos publishes

Korthos publishes and maintains company profiles, product profiles, funding and capital events, deployments, pilots, contracts, procurement signals, partnerships, manufacturing updates, supply-chain relationships, research releases, launches, and market briefings.

Submissions and corrections

Korthos welcomes submissions, corrections, and relevant research.

Relevant companies, products, and teams may be submitted for review and listing. We also review substantive news, research, funding updates, deployments, partnerships, product launches, and supporting material sent our way.

Submissions are reviewed for relevance, evidence, and editorial value. Relevant teams and products may be added to Korthos, and substantive updates may be covered at editorial discretion.
