MachineWorth, a skeptical economic guide to buying robots

Field notes

MachineWorth organizes robot purchasing around three questions: fit, total cost, and economics. Its visible directory distinguishes commercial availability, pilot status, manufacturer reporting, and customer confirmation, while a sample signal combines annual labor offset and robot cost into a stated payback period. The homepage also says the system accounts for integration, maintenance, energy, utilization, and useful life rather than relying on purchase price alone. A JSON API and WebMCP layer are presented as part of the project’s planned machine-readable surface.
