Intelligent machines market intelligence
Market intelligence for intelligent machines.
unit.report tracks robots, drones, autonomous vehicles and smart glasses. Each product page shows who makes it, which jobs it is documented to do, its current commercial status and the sources behind it.
These counts show what unit.report tracks today. They are not a measure of market size.

What a product page shows
Evidence behind every product.
The jobs a product is documented to do, such as palletizing, welding or crop spraying. Each one is backed by a cited source.
Whether a product is available, limited, in preorder, announced or discontinued, based on current manufacturer information. Status does not describe stock, price or availability in your country.
Official manufacturer pages, regulatory filings and reputable reporting, linked where they are used.
Coverage is not exhaustive and information can change. Read the methodology for what is tracked and how.
Market evidence
Notes
IFR: "542,000 robots installed in 2024". IFR also forecasts 575,000 for 2025; forecasts are not recorded here.
Notes
IFR calls this "operational stock": 4,664,000 units in operational use worldwide in 2024.
Notes
FAA figure as of November 2025 (the date shown on the FAA page when read). Equals commercial 453,635 + recreational flyer 371,334 + paper 12,544. Registered drones are not the same as drones flying: only drones of 250 g or more must register, and a recreational flyer registers once for all of their drones.
Notes
FAA figure as of November 2025.
Notes
IEA states sales "exceed 20 million in 2025". The value recorded is that stated threshold, not an exact count. IEA's 23 million figure for 2026 is a forecast and is not recorded.
Notes
IEA: "one-quarter of all new cars sold were electric" in 2025. Rounded as stated.
Notes
Counterpoint headline: global AI glasses shipments up 263% YoY in H1 2026, with display-less AI glasses 96% of the total. Taken from the article headline; the article body was not retrievable for direct reading.
Each figure is a separate measurement with its own period and geography. Different metrics, periods and regions are not directly comparable. Market-level figures do not describe individual products.
Product profiles
Products with reference schematics.
Product profiles that include a reference schematic. This is not a ranking and not a list of best sellers: unit.report holds no product-level sales data to rank by.
Signal activity
Most confirmed signals this quarter.
Intelligent Vehicles is the market with the longest confirmed-signal history. This is the company with the most confirmed signals in the last three months there, weighted toward regulatory events. It is a measure of reported activity, not of sales or adoption.

Robotis CEO: production capacity matters more than the demo, for now
Kim Byoung-soo is betting the AI Sapiens humanoid on torque-based control and a new Uzbekistan plant — securing price and production capacity ahead of mass-market demand, rather than racing to be first with a viral video.
Waymo and Zoox both widen the robotaxi map, days before Tesla's own reveal
Waymo went live with paid driverless rides in Denver, San Diego, and Tampa on Sept 1; Zoox began supervised testing in Houston the same week. Goldman Sachs projects the U.S. robotaxi market growing from roughly $3B to $48B by 2035.
The FCC's foreign-drone ban keeps growing its exemption list — 17 and counting
Two more manufacturers won conditional FCC approval this month, extending a workaround path that now covers 17 companies. Consumer drones from DJI and Autel remain locked out, and the FCC is separately weighing tighter rules on military-grade foreign drones.
Signals
Recent confirmed signals.
Each signal is a dated, sourced record of a status change, a new company or a regulatory action. It is added after a person has confirmed it.
Evidence
Claims point to their sources.
Product pages and market metrics link to the sources they rely on, such as a manufacturer page, a regulatory filing or reputable reporting. Company market-presence labels link to a source where one has been attached; the rest come from a first research pass, which the methodology describes. A product being tracked is not an endorsement, and a company being tracked does not mean it has a relationship with unit.report. If something looks wrong, tell us and include a source.
