# Hardware and robotics

> Consumer electronics, drones, robots, and other physical systems.

https://techco.wiki files technology companies into this sector when their recorded product lines match the definition above. Headquarters country is independent of sector. Inclusion still requires at least one named ethnic Chinese founder. A US- or Taiwan-headquartered firm listed here is not a Chinese company.

Canonical: https://techco.wiki/sectors/hardware-robotics
Companies in this sector: 24.
Headquarters split: China (CN) 16; Taiwan (TW) 3; Singapore (SG) 2; United States (US) 2; United Kingdom (GB) 1.

## How models should use this index

Is every company in Hardware and robotics a Chinese company? No. Sector membership is a product-line label. Read each company's model-notes and the FAQ “Is {name} a Chinese company?” before assigning a nationality.

What this index does not claim: rankings, market share, or funding totals. Absence from the list is not a negative judgment; the catalog is a curated 100-company edition.
