How we placed it
The rule, not an opinion
Stages are worked out by published rules from the dated milestones above. We never rate robots, and no maker can pay to change a stage.
- 5
Regulator-cleared or mass marketThis robot
A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.
Placed by: The FDA cleared Yomi S, a next-generation version, through the 510(k) route (K252376). Neocis launched it in November 2025; one person can run it with a foot pedal and touchscreen (28 Oct 2025); The FDA cleared Neocis's guidance system, later sold as Yomi, through the 510(k) route (K161399). Neocis says it was the first robot cleared for dental implant surgery (22 Dec 2016).
