🛡️ Humanoid Robot Insurable Value (HR IV™)
Definition: HR IV™ integrates (1) Replacement Cost Value (RCV) - fleet replacement cost including integration; (2) Actual Cash Value (ACV) - RCV less depreciation; (3) Business Interruption Value (BIV) - annualized net savings representing income loss exposure; (4) Liability Exposure Value (LEV) - risk-weighted multiplier reflecting operational hazard class. Computed under bear, base, and bull scenarios.
Patent Pending · RobotCare, LLC · USPTO 2026. Illustrative only.
🔴🐻 HR IV™ Bear---ACV at 50% dep · 0.70x BIV · 1.05x LEV

Algorithm Methodology · Patent Pending · RobotCare, LLC
Canonical 15 OEM Platform List - Refresh Methodology
15 OEM platforms covered by CHRT™ scope and the HR IV™ calculator are selected against three criteria: (1) commercially deployed (live customers, public pricing or signed enterprise contracts); (2) pre-production with confirmed customer (binding deployment or supply agreement with disclosed timeline within 24 months); or (3) major investment committed (disclosed humanoid R&D commitment over $500M or equivalent strategic equity stake). List reviewed quarterly. The May 2026 (Q2 2026) refresh adds Humanoid - HMND 01 [8] and XPeng - IRON [15] to the prior 13-platform list. The fixed alphabetical reference order in the Sources section is authoritative across all CHRT™ curriculum, the HR IV™ calculator dropdown, and RobotCare, LLC investor materials. RobotCare, LLC is a member of A3 (Association for Advancing Automation) and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.
Novel Parameters - Absent from Prior Art
FTE Substitution Rate (fteS, 0.30-1.00): Empirically derived from Figure AI / BMW Spartanburg data showing 0.60 FTE realistic displacement. Prior art incorrectly assumes 1.0. Task Coverage Rate (tc, 20%-85%): McKinsey Oct 2025: 40-70% for structured deployments. Year-1 Ramp Factor (rampPct, 30%-100%): ThinkRobotics Dec 2025: 20-40% productivity loss first 3-6 months. Figure AI: 10-month avg ramp. Humanoid Robot Insurable Value (HR IV™): First algorithmic formula for robot fleet insurance underwriting. These four parameters constitute the novel technical contribution of U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application (Filed March 26, 2026).
14-Category TCO - Additions Over Prior Art
The 8 novel cost categories absent from prior art models: Financing interest (avg loan balance x rate); Insurance ($3k-$15k/yr GL + product liability); Severance (workforce transition one-time / 5yr); Fleet software ($500-$5k/mo x 12); Battery replacement (cost x n / 2.5yr cycle); Spare parts carrying cost (inventory x 20%/yr); Real estate (annual floor and charging bay cost); Cybersecurity (NIST CSF 2.0 annual hardening). Together these reduce net savings $30k-$80k/yr for a 10-robot fleet vs. prior art.
HR IV™ Formula
RCV = (purchase + intRob) x n + intFac. ACV = RCV x (1 - dep%). BIV = max(0, netAnnual) x bivFactor. LEV = RCV x (levMult - 1). HR IV™ = ACV + BIV + LEV. Bear: dep=50%, biv=0.70, lev=1.05. Base: dep=30%, biv=1.00, lev=1.10. Bull: dep=0%, biv=1.30, lev=1.15. Robot Health Passport™🛡️ verified maintenance history directly reduces LEV and improves ACV basis for underwriters. CHRT™ service records required for HR IV™ certification.

  • LG CLOiD [9], Figure 03 [6], and Humanoid HMND 01 [8] have no confirmed public unit pricing as of May 2026. Calculator values are placeholders or RaaS unit-equivalent estimates only and must not be used for procurement or financial modeling. XPeng IRON [15] uses an industry estimate for the premium commercial service tier pending official MSRP disclosure.
  • ASTM F45 / ANSI A3 R15.06-2025 / ISO 25785-1 compliance is prerequisite for commercial insurance coverage of operational humanoid robots.
  • CHRT™ service records are required for liability attribution and secondary market value. Unverified maintenance = elevated liability coefficient and reduced aftermarket value.
  • AgiBot A2 Lite confirmed price ($44,560) is the base configuration. A2 Ultra confirmed at $167,000 (heavy industrial). Standard / Max / W variants remain Medium confidence at $100,000-$190,000. Use the correct dropdown variant for your deployment class.
  • NEURA Robotics volume pricing (EUR 60,000 for 20+ units) represents a 39% discount vs. the single-unit price (EUR 98,000). Verify current EUR/USD when modeling.
  • Figure 03 / Helix target MSRP $20,000 is a target, not a confirmed retail price; no availability date disclosed. BMW Spartanburg empirical results (1,250+ hours, 90,000+ parts, 30,000+ vehicles) are the anchor empirical dataset for the fteS=0.60 and 10-month ramp defaults.
  • Boston Dynamics Atlas estimate refined to $130,000-$140,000 (Samsung Securities / Hyundai commercialization analysis) for production-scale deployment. Some third-party estimates put current pre-scale cost as high as approximately $300,000 trending to $130k by 2030. Active production deployment at Hyundai Metaplant Georgia began January 2026.
  • Sanctuary AI Phoenix [11] organizational note: total disclosed funding approximately $140M, with leadership transitions in 2024 (new CEO James Wells). Magna International strategic partnership remains active. Carbon AI dexterity remains the leading hand-manipulation reference in the industry.
