This page collects 31 events from the robotics market covering 2021–2023. Most entries are of the types: launch (15), event (10), deployment (2). Each entry has a date and, where possible, links to the manufacturer profile, the model page or the source; it is a digest of events, while technical data and prices are verified separately on the model pages.

The companies that appear most often in this period are: Agility Robotics (4), Fourier Intelligence (3), Clone Robotics (3), Tesla (2). Full manufacturer profiles, with history, range and models, are in the manufacturer index.

The busiest month is December 2023 with 5 entries. Entries marked “trade show” are dates of exhibitions and conferences; the rest are product launches, funding rounds, deployments, acquisitions and regulatory decisions.

What do these changes mean for prices and availability in Poland? See the price index, the rankings and the guide “How Much Does a Humanoid Robot Cost in 2026”.
