Terms of use

We Build Humanoids is an independent knowledge project about humanoid robotics. It is not a company or any other legal entity: it is run privately, on a non-commercial basis, by the site owner. WBH (webuildhumanoids.com) is a free reference that you can read without an account, with a community you can join. By using it you accept these terms. Who is responsible for personal data is explained on the privacy page.

WBH compiles information from public sources, mainly manufacturers' own pages, documentation and repositories, and shows the source of every fact. Manufacturers change specifications, prices and availability without notice, and sources can be wrong. The information is provided as it is, for general reference: check the original source and the manufacturer before buying, deploying or relying on a robot, and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions. WBH does not give engineering, safety, legal or purchasing advice.

Records marked “awaiting editor review” and text drafted with AI assistance have been checked against their sources but not yet reviewed by a WBH editor.

Robot, product and company names are the trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify them. WBH is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any manufacturer it covers.

• You must be 16 or older to create an account. One account per person. Do not impersonate other people, makers or WeBuildHumanoids.
• Keep your sign-in methods secure. We will never ask you for a sign-in code.
• The community guidelines apply to everything you post. We may hold posts for review, hide or remove content that breaks them, and limit, suspend or close accounts. Moderation decisions are recorded with a reason; you can appeal by email.
• Posts are written by members and are their opinion and experience. They are not checked by WBH and are not part of WBH's source-linked data. Threads marked “Started by WBH” are opened by WBH Editorial; replies to them are members'.
• You keep ownership of, and the copyright in, everything you post. WBH does not claim ownership of your contributions.
• So that WBH can run the community, you give WBH a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide permission to host, store, reproduce, display, format and distribute your contributions as part of the service: on WBH's pages (including excerpts in lists and on robot, topic and update pages), in its feeds and search, and through the providers that host and deliver the site for WBH. Formatting means presenting your text, for example rendering Markdown, shortening it to an excerpt or adding links to the robots you name; it never means changing what you said.
• The permission ends when you delete a contribution, except where you keep your posts in place when you delete your account (they stay, anonymised, so other members' answers keep their context), and for copies in backups until those expire (at most a year).
• Post only what you have the right to post: your own words, short quotations with their source, and links rather than copies of other people's work.
• When you delete your account, your posts stay anonymised unless you choose to erase them.
• Disclose when you are affiliated with what you post about. Posts that only advertise are removed.
• You can delete your account at any time in Settings.

Some pages list hardware with links to the seller's product page that carry WBH's affiliate code (today: Seeed Studio). If you buy through one, the seller may pay WBH a commission; the price you pay is the same. A purchase is between you and the seller, on the seller's terms: WBH does not sell, ship or support products, and is not responsible for a seller's offer, prices or availability. How products are chosen: About.

Links to other sites are provided for reference. WBH is not responsible for their content or availability.

WBH's own text and data remain the property of the site owner unless a licence is stated here. You may quote short passages with attribution and a link to the page. Facts belong to no one; please cite the original source they come from as well. Robot photographs are not WBH's own: each is shown under its own licence, credited next to the image, and may be reused only under that licence.

Do not use automated tools in a way that burdens the site, and do not try to access parts of the site or its systems that are not public. The site's robots.txt describes what may be crawled.

To the extent the law allows, WBH is not liable for losses arising from reliance on the information on the site or from its unavailability. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Report errors through Corrections, and copyright concerns through the contact page.

These terms will change when the site changes; the date above shows the last change.
