DRC-HUBO+
Research | KAIST

DRC-HUBO+

The DRC-HUBO+ is the DARPA Robotics Challenge-winning humanoid robot developed by Team KAIST at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. It won first place and the $2 million prize at the DRC Finals in Pomona, California on June 6, 2015, completing all eight disaster-response tasks faster than any competitor. Its key innovation is the ability to transform between a walking bipedal posture and a wheeled kneeling posture — it drops to its knees and rolls on built-in knee wheels for fast, stable traversal, then stands up to use its arms and climb stairs. Built on the HUBO 2 (KHR-4) platform originally released in 2005, it represents over 15 years of humanoid research at KAIST led by Professor Jun-Ho Oh.

Research strategies

The right search approach depends on your role and what decision you need to make. These strategies cover the most common research patterns.

Research strategies by role

Whether you are a consumer researching your first robot purchase, a journalist covering the robotics industry, an engineer evaluating competitive products, or an investor assessing market opportunities — the right search strategy depends on what signal you are tracking and what decision you need to make next.

First-time buyer

Start broad: try "cleaning robot" or "companion robot" for an overview of what is available. Review prices and features across multiple results, then narrow with specific terms like sensor types or brand names. The categories page has buyer guides with price ranges for each robot type to help set expectations.

Upgrading a robot

Search for features you wish your current robot had — "LiDAR navigation," "auto-empty," "voice control," or "obstacle avoidance." Compare your current model against candidates using the comparison tool to evaluate whether the upgrade justifies the cost. Pay attention to connectivity protocol changes — newer robots may use Matter instead of proprietary apps.

Tech enthusiast

Search cutting-edge terms: "bipedal locomotion," "force torque sensor," "large language model," or "ROS 2." Combine with status filters on the all robots page to distinguish currently available products from development-stage prototypes and pre-order models. The components directory provides deeper technical context on unfamiliar sensors and AI platforms.

Commercial buyer

Search deployment scenarios: "warehouse automation," "logistics," "reception desk," or "security patrol." Check manufacturer profiles for enterprise support options, fleet management capabilities, and commercial pricing arrangements for bulk deployments. Regional context matters — the countries directory shows production hubs and import considerations.

Research by technology

Search for component names like "LiDAR," "NVIDIA Jetson," "ROS 2," or "Matter" to find robots built on specific platforms. See the components directory for structured technology views and component trends for adoption momentum data over the past 30 days.

Research by use case

Search for the task rather than the product: "mopping," "lawn mowing," "security patrol," or "elderly care" surfaces robots designed for those applications. Cross-category queries like "security" can reveal surprising alternatives — dedicated security robots, companion robots with surveillance features, and quadrupeds with patrol capabilities all appear in one search.

Research by region

Search "Japan," "Chinese," or "European" to find robots from specific markets. The countries directory offers a structured geographic view with production hubs, manufacturer density, and regional market leaders for deeper comparison.

When to use search vs other tools

Use search when Use browse when
You know the robot name, maker, or a specific technology keywordYou need to understand the full market landscape first
You want fast results across the entire database in one queryYou want buyer guides with price ranges and recommendations
You are validating whether a specific sensor or protocol existsYou want to compare regional markets or manufacturer portfolios
You need shareable, bookmarkable result URLs for laterYou want structured side-by-side specification comparison

Cross-category discovery

One of the most valuable but underused search strategies is cross-category exploration. Searching across categories can reveal surprising alternatives you might not have considered:

  • Security needs? Searching "security" surfaces dedicated security robots, companion robots with surveillance features, quadrupeds with patrol capabilities, and cleaning robots with built-in cameras.
  • Specific sensor? Searching "camera" shows robots from every category that include cameras — from vacuums to humanoids to security bots — revealing technology adoption patterns across the market.
  • Budget comparison? Searching a price range or budget term can surface robots across categories that compete for the same spending decision, even if they serve different purposes.

Saving and sharing research

Bookmarkable URLs

Every search generates a permanent URL. Bookmark it, share it with colleagues, or paste it into a team chat — the same URL always shows the latest data for that query.

Multi-device research

Start on your laptop, continue on your phone. Search URLs work everywhere. Open candidate detail pages in parallel tabs for efficient comparison across devices.

Compare integration

Once your shortlist is small enough, move directly to the comparison tool for structured spec-by-spec analysis. The compare page also supports shareable URLs for team purchase decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I search for on ui44?
You can search across all 205 robots by name, manufacturer, category, capability, sensor type, connectivity option, or any keyword that appears in a robot's profile. The search indexes every attribute in the database for comprehensive results.
Why am I getting no results?
If your search returns no results, try simplifying your query. Use single keywords rather than phrases, check for typos, and try synonyms (e.g., "vacuum" instead of "cleaning robot"). You can also browse by category or manufacturer.
Can I filter search results by price?
The search page does not include a numerical price filter, but you can use the all robots page which offers category, manufacturer, and price sorting together.
Do search results update in real time?
Yes, results update as you type with a short debounce delay to balance responsiveness with efficiency. There is no need to press Enter or click a search button — just start typing and results appear automatically. You can also press Enter or click Search for an immediate update. The result cards are rendered server-side and delivered via HTMX partial updates, meaning only the search results section refreshes without disturbing the rest of the page.
How is search relevance determined?
Results are ranked by match quality across multiple data dimensions. The relevance algorithm prioritizes exact matches in high-importance fields — a robot name match ranks higher than a description mention, which ranks higher than a sensor or capability match. Multi-word queries are evaluated as a combined search, matching across any combination of fields. For example, searching "Boston Dynamics quadruped" surfaces robots from Boston Dynamics in the quadruped category.
Can I search by technical specifications?
Yes — search for specific sensor names, connectivity protocols, AI platforms, or capability keywords. For example, searching for "LiDAR" returns all robots that include LiDAR sensors, while "Matter" surfaces robots supporting the Matter smart home protocol. For structured technical browsing, the components directory provides dedicated pages for each technology with complete robot compatibility lists and detailed technical explanations.
Does search include robots not yet available for purchase?
Yes, the search indexes every robot in the database regardless of availability status. Results include robots that are Available, in Pre-order, in Development, and in Prototype stages. Each result card displays the robot's current status so you can quickly identify which results represent products you can buy today versus those still in development. To limit results to only purchasable robots, use the status filter tabs on the all robots page.
How often is the search data updated?
The search index is rebuilt whenever the database is updated, ensuring that new robots, updated specifications, and changed prices are immediately searchable without delay. Each robot detail page shows a "last verified" date so you can assess data freshness for any specific result. Available products are prioritized for frequent verification, ensuring that purchase-ready robots have the most current information.
Can I share or bookmark my search results?
Yes, every search query generates a shareable URL that preserves your exact search terms and results. You can bookmark searches to revisit later, share specific search results with colleagues evaluating robots together, or save a set of search URLs as a lightweight research project. The URL-based approach ensures your research is reproducible — the same URL always shows the latest data.
What is the best way to narrow down search results?
Start with a broad term and progressively add specificity. For example, typing "robot" shows everything, adding "cleaning" narrows to cleaning robots, and adding a manufacturer name further refines to that company's products. You can also combine search with other tools — identify candidates through search, then use the comparison tool to evaluate your shortlist side by side across all specification dimensions.
Should I use search or browse to find robots?
Use search when you have a specific keyword, name, manufacturer, or technology in mind — it is the fastest way to surface candidates from the entire database in one action. Use browse routes when you need market context: the categories page for understanding robot types and buyer guides, the manufacturers page for company-level research, and the comparison tool for final tradeoff analysis. Most effective research workflows use both: search to discover, browse to contextualize.
Can I search by price range?
Direct price-range filtering is not available in search. However, you can search by category (e.g., "cleaning robot") to see the full price spread, then sort by price on the all robots page for structured price browsing. Many category pages also include price distribution tables showing typical price ranges for budget, mid-range, and premium segments within that robot type.
How do I compare robots after searching?
Once your search results narrow to a manageable shortlist, open the most promising 2–4 robots in separate tabs and review their full detail pages. Then use the comparison tool to place up to 4 robots side by side across every specification dimension — price, sensors, capabilities, connectivity, battery life, dimensions, and AI stack. The comparison view highlights differences that are hard to spot across separate detail pages.
Does search work on mobile?
Yes, search is fully responsive and works on mobile, tablet, and desktop. On smaller screens, the search input is prominently placed at the top of the page, result cards stack vertically for easy scrolling, and all quick-start tags and category chips remain tappable. Every search generates a bookmarkable URL, so you can start research on your phone and continue on your laptop without losing context.
How do I find robots from a specific country?
You can search by country name or nationality — "Japan," "Chinese," "Korean," or "German" will surface robots from manufacturers based in those regions. For a structured geographic view, the countries directory provides dedicated pages for each manufacturing hub, including manufacturer counts, product portfolios, and regional market positioning. Country pages also show production trends and highlight leading manufacturers in each region.
Can I search by robot status (available, pre-order, development)?
The search indexes status labels, so searching for "available," "pre-order," "development," or "prototype" will surface robots matching that status. However, for more structured status filtering, use the status filter tabs on the all robots page, which lets you toggle between Available, Pre-order, Development, and Prototype robots while maintaining category and manufacturer filters. Status information on each robot profile includes a last verified date so you can assess how current the availability data is.
What data does each search result card show?
Each result card displays the robot name, manufacturer (linked to the manufacturer profile), category, a short description, the price (or price note if TBD), and match labels showing which fields matched your query (Name, Maker, Category, Capability, Sensor, or AI). Clicking any result opens the full robot detail page with complete specifications, sensor breakdowns, capability analysis, component details, and manufacturer context.
How do I research a specific technology like LiDAR or Matter?
Search for the technology name directly — "LiDAR," "Matter," "ROS 2," "NVIDIA Jetson," or "Bluetooth 5.0" will return all robots that include that technology. For deeper technical context, the components directory provides dedicated pages for each technology with explanations, adoption statistics, and complete robot compatibility lists. You can also check component trends to see which technologies are gaining or losing adoption across the market over the past 30 days.
What is the difference between search and the all robots page?
The search page is optimized for keyword-based discovery across the entire database — type any term and get instant results from all robots. It indexes every attribute including names, manufacturers, categories, capabilities, sensors, connectivity protocols, and AI platforms. The all robots page is a structured directory with sortable columns, category filters, manufacturer filters, status tabs, and price sorting. Use search when you have a keyword in mind; use the robots page when you want to browse, filter, and sort a structured table view. Both routes link to the same robot detail pages for deep specification analysis.

Keep the research moving

Need a different lens than raw keyword search?

Search is the fastest way to surface candidates. Once the problem becomes breadth, tradeoffs, or manufacturer context, switch tools on purpose instead of endlessly refining one query.
