Editorial principles

Principles

• Every value shows its source and a confidence label: Official · Reported · Rumor · Estimate.
• Manufacturer material comes first; reports and rumors are kept separate.
• Articles and reports are summarized briefly as facts, with a link to the original. We do not copy the original text.
• Images are freely licensed photos, official manufacturer material, renders of public 3D models or patent drawings, used with credits. For robots without a usable public image, we use illustrations drawn by Wingchiki from public photos (details may differ from the real product). The full policy is on the Korean copyright and source policy page.
• Ads are limited to one horizontal unit per page and do not influence content.
• We do not cover stock prices, related stocks or stock picks. For readers interested in investment, we show each company's actual progress with evidence.

How we handle rumors

In the humanoid industry, rumors often run ahead of official announcements. We record them, but never mix them with facts.

• We include only rumors reported by a named outlet citing sources, or backed by indirect evidence such as supply chains, job postings or certifications. Rumors based only on social media speculation, and people's private lives, are left out.
• For each rumor we note who said it, what is unconfirmed, how the parties responded, and what would count as confirmation.
• Rumors are not deleted. Their status changes to under review, confirmed, denied by the party, proved wrong or faded without evidence. We recheck them 30 and 90 days after the first report.
• For listed companies, we record only what was reported and do not link it to related stocks or share prices.

How the data is made

• Data comes from public sources: company announcements, filings, official videos and named media reports. Each value keeps its source link and the date it was checked.
• AI tools help collect candidates, draft summaries and translate. Every value that goes into the data is checked against its source, and the confidence grade is set by that check, not by the tool.
• Development stages (① Concept to ⑤ On sale) are Wingchiki's reading of public evidence of pilots, production and shipments, not shipment counts.
• Insight reports separate facts, observations and Wingchiki's view, and end with the indicators we will check next.

About the English edition

• English pages are translated from the Korean edition with AI and checked by a person. We review a sample of each new page type and every insight conclusion in full.
• Numbers, dates, source links and confidence labels are kept identical to the Korean edition, and automated checks compare them.
• Each translation records the date of the Korean text it came from. When the Korean text changes, the old translation is hidden until it is updated.
• News, deep reads and notes are published in Korean only. Pages with little data are not submitted for indexing.

Updates and corrections

• News is checked daily on the Korean edition. Robot specs, companies, funding records and illustrations are corrected as soon as new evidence is confirmed. Pages show their update dates and per-value check dates.
• If you find a wrong value or a missing robot, please tell us with a source. We will check it and update the data.
