Category Standard

Vayu Robotics is a legitimate, high-innovation robotics company that was acquired by Serve Robotics in August 2025, validating its technology and market value. The company developed novel transformer-based mobility models and lidar-less sensing for delivery robots, securing a 2,500-unit commercial order. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone') and ambiguous data. Consequently, the score reflects the high real-world value of the technology and its successful exit, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors (Qi) in the Traction and Reach sections due to the discrepancies between the submission and verified reality.
