- Comment: Declined again for the same reasons as the previous review. The article has not been improved since the last decline, and the sources provided still fail to meet Wikipedia's strict notability guidelines for companies WP:NCORP. The current citations consist of interviews, routine funding/product launch announcements, user-generated content (HackerNoon), and affiliated primary sources (Revendo). To be accepted, the draft requires multiple instances of in-depth, independent journalistic coverage about the company itself, rather than press releases or passing mentions.

- Comment: I'm declining it because the sources don't yet establish notability under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Most of the references are either from the company itself, its customers (like Revendo), or brief startup news mentions. The Robot Report piece is the strongest source here, but one solid article isn't enough on its own. We need multiple independent sources providing substantial coverage of the company, not just passing mentions or funding announcements. HackerNoon and Start-Up.ro also tend not to meet Wikipedia:Reliable sources given their open-contribution or press-release-heavy nature. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 06:08, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Adapta Robotics is a Romanian robotics and artificial intelligence company that designs and manufactures robotic solutions for device testing, inventory monitoring, and in-store operations, with applications in retail, consumer electronics, automotive, and healthcare.[1]
The company's products include MATT, a robot for automated testing of electronic devices, and ERIS and SIDD, systems used for retail inventory tasks.[1]
History
[edit ]Adapta Robotics was founded by members of a student robotics team at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, which later evolved into a robotics division within RINF Tech.[2]
The company introduced MATT, a robot for automated testing of electronic devices, in 2018.[1] It later operated independently as a developer of service robots combining hardware and artificial intelligence.[1] [3]
Products
[edit ]MATT
[edit ]MATT is a robotic system designed for automated testing of electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, and other touchscreen or physical-control devices. It replicates human interaction to perform functional testing and quality validation.[1] According to the company and reports about its customers, the system has been used in consumer electronics refurbishment and in the automotive and medical-device sectors.[4] [5]
SIDD
[edit ]SIDD is a camera-based system developed for inventory tracking and monitoring. It uses cameras and image processing to track stock levels and shelf placement in retail and storage environments.[6]
ERIS
[edit ]ERIS (Effective Retail Intelligent Scanner) is a retail robot designed for in-store use, including shelf scanning, price verification, and inventory analysis. It scans store shelves to identify pricing discrepancies and out-of-stock situations.[7]
Funding
[edit ]In 2023, Adapta Robotics received its first investment, an early-stage round from the business angel network WIT Angels Club.[8]
In 2024, the company raised approximately 2ドル million from Catalyst Romania, with participation from Women in Tech (WIT).[9]
