Start with the workflow. Not the vendor pitch.
Tell us the task. For a fixed US$1,950 you get a scored shortlist of three robots in five business days, every claim sourced, US legality checked per model against the FCC's own register. Credited in full if you procure through RoboZaps.
Fixed-fee sourcing
Which robot? Answered for a fixed fee.
A fixed-fee answer to one question: which robot can do your task, at what cost, and can you legally deploy it.
Robot Sourcing Brief
US$1,950
Delivered in 5 business days, credited in full if you procure through RoboZaps. You get:
- A requirements spec for your task
- A scored shortlist of three platforms, every claim sourced
- US regulatory status per model, with authorization references
- A budgetary deployment picture and a 30-minute review call
Humanoid Sourcing Mandate
US$9,500
A buyer-side engagement that ends in a procurement-ready recommendation, with RoboZaps in the room for supplier calls.
Most robotics buying is still guesswork
50+ manufacturers. Inconsistent pricing. No single place to compare specs, costs, lead times, and support terms side by side. The Robot Sourcing Brief replaces that guesswork with a fixed fee: US$1,950, five business days, four deliverables, credited in full if you procure through RoboZaps.
A requirements spec
Your task, site constraints, and budget captured from intake and a short call, so every recommendation traces back to what you actually need.
A scored shortlist of three
Three platforms that can do the job, scored and ranked, with every claim carrying a source. No vendor decks, no sponsored placements.
US legality per model
Regulatory status checked against the FCC's own register, with grant references. Since the July 2026 Covered List change, this is where robot purchases go wrong.
Real deployment costs
Hardware, integration, freight, and support compared across vendors before you sign anything. The information most buyers never get until they are already committed.

Why we start with humanoids
Humanoid robots are drawing the most attention because they are designed for human environments and flexible workflows. In the right settings, they can open up new possibilities where fixed automation falls short.
But humanoids are not always the best answer today. That is why RoboZaps starts with humanoids, then broadens into adjacent robotics when another system is a better fit. We recommend whatever fits the job.
Where the economics start to work
Robotics makes financial sense when the workflow is repetitive enough, physical enough, or expensive enough to justify the investment. These are the environments where we see it working.
Manufacturing
Support repetitive handling, line-side movement, inspection support, and physically demanding workflows.

Assess reception, delivery, guidance, and branded experience use cases where function and visibility both matter.
Learn moreIn our evaluation pipeline
Real products with real deployment context. Every listing covers what it takes to actually run it, not just specs.
From use case to deployment
Most companies spend 3 to 6 months just researching options. The Sourcing Brief compresses that into five business days for a fixed US$1,950, credited in full if you procure through us.
Intake
A structured intake and a short call capture the task, the site, the constraints, and the budget. The five-day clock starts here.
Research
We score the catalogue against your requirements, verify availability and pricing with the makers, and check US legality per model against the FCC register.
Delivery
You get the Brief: a scored shortlist of three platforms, every claim sourced, with a budgetary deployment picture across hardware, integration, freight, and support.
Review and next steps
A thirty-minute call with the analyst who wrote it. If you procure through RoboZaps, the full fee credits against the purchase and we stay in the room for vendor calls.
Broader robotics categories
Humanoids lead our evaluation framework. But when a cobot, mobile robot, or quadruped is the better fit for the job, that is what we recommend.
Industrial cobots
For assembly, machine tending, welding, and repeatable workflows.
Warehouse and logistics robots
For transport, sorting, picking, and operational efficiency.
Service robots
For hospitality, delivery, reception, and front-of-house tasks.
Inspection and patrol robots
For monitoring, hazardous environments, and routine site checks.
Built for the buyer's side of the table.
A provenance-gated database
176 published robots where every price and spec carries a source class, and unverifiable numbers are removed rather than guessed.
The US legality register
Every FCC authorization relevant to advanced robots tracked against the Covered List, grant by grant, checked before we recommend anything.
Live procurement programs
We run real reseller and sourcing engagements, and we disclose commissions. The Brief fee credits in full when you buy through us.
That evidence discipline is what you are buying in the Robot Sourcing Brief.
50+ manufacturers. One evaluation.
We track solutions across every major robotics category. Not owned by a manufacturer. Not tied to a single line.
