What we promise
- We do not sell assessments, and we do not accept payment from any company we assess.
- We take no commission, referral fee or distribution right from any manufacturer.
- Every sponsor or funder is named here, with the approximate amount. No sponsor sees a publication before it is published.
- A director with an interest in a subject takes no part in the discussion, the vote, or the drafting and approval of anything we publish about that company or its direct competitors.
- Breaching these rules is grounds for removal from office under our by-laws.
Sponsors and funders
None to date. Canada Robotics International has received no sponsorship, grant or donation. All costs so far have been met personally by the founder. This section will list every funder and the approximate amount as soon as there is one.
Travel
Field visits, including the World Robot Conference in Beijing in August 2026, were paid for by the founder. Where a manufacturer or host covers travel or accommodation in future, it will be declared here before anything about that company is published.
