Audited Corporate Claims Ledger

  • [PARTLY TRUE]Timeline
    Claimed: Mar 1, 2026

    “ABB industrial robots are deployed in factories globally (verified). "Labs by end of 2026" is plausible. "Hospitals, hotels, and your home" is aspirational with no ABB humanoid deployment confirmed. Marc Segura is President of ABB Robotics but the "home" claim aligns with Agility Robotics' vision, not ABB's own product line. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaQ44Y_AJ7D/”

  • [VERIFIED]Customer
    Claimed: Jan 1, 2026

    “ABB Robotics confirmed increased US sales driven by data center construction demand. ABB is the largest industrial robot manufacturer by installed base. https://www.abb.com/global/en/areas/robotics/products/robots”

  • [VERIFIED]Capability
    Claimed: Jan 1, 2026

    “IRB 6700 is ABB's 7th generation large robot, 150-300 kg payload. Deployed in automotive manufacturing and industrial production globally. Performance claim is standard for an industrial robot arm of this class. https://pennair.com/suppliers/abb/abb-irb-6700/”
