Caveats

  • Describes Whirrwork's dataset, compiled from public sources. It is not a census of the whole market.
  • A "job" is a use case such as drone crop spraying or robotic window cleaning. New jobs are added as we find providers offering them.

Computed from dataset release 2026-10 by the Whirrwork build (scripts/build.mjs, src/lib/research.js).
