Retire the broad robotics basket while scarce component content and profitable robot-specific conversion remain unverified. General machine-vision growth is insufficient.
Retire the broad robotics basket while scarce component content and profitable robot-specific conversion remain unverified. General machine-vision growth is insufficient. Scope reviewed on September 6; source dates remain original. This is a research-priority and evidence-boundary review, not an entry call or a fresh historical performance grade.

Case at review: Historical hypothesis, now retired from live research: Physical AI may create demand for scarce sensors, vision, control, actuators and test components. Established commercial suppliers and speculative robot brands require different evidence.
Retire the broad robotics basket while scarce component content and profitable robot-specific conversion remain unverified. General machine-vision growth is insufficient.
Horizon: 6–24 months after commercial proof; no active campaign allocation of attention.
Failure conditions: The closure is a research-priority decision, not a new market falsification verdict. Original evidence gaps and outcomes remain as recorded.
- A named component supplier with disclosed robot-program orders and profitable revenue conversion would justify a narrow successor.
