Form factor

The form factor of a robot describes its physical configuration: bipedal humanoid, wheeled general-purpose, quadruped, industrial arm, autonomous vehicle, or fixed-pedestal. Form factor determines what work the robot can plausibly do and which category pages it surfaces under. The registry's verified-humanoid-companies category, for example, includes only models with form factor humanoid; a wheeled general-purpose robot is tracked but does not surface there.

Form factor is recorded on the model record, not the company record, since a single company may build multiple form factors.
