CloudMinds

CloudMinds — now operating as Dataa Robotics (达闼机器人股份有限公司) — is a cloud-robotics company founded in 2015, originally with dual headquarters in Beijing, China and Santa Clara/Irvine, California, and backed by SoftBank and Foxconn. It builds cloud-connected smart machines and the HARIX ("Human Augmented Robot Intelligence with eXtreme reality") cloud AI robot brain, operating cloud robots over its robot secure private network and a digital-twin simulation layer. Its developer offering is the HARIX Robot Development Kit (RDK) — an app behavior blueprint editor, motion/dance editor, scene-map tools, and a robot simulation/training platform — distributed through the HARIX RDK portal, the HarixRDK GitHub organization, and the official "harix" Python SDK on PyPI. CloudMinds publishes no OpenAPI and no public REST API; its machine-readable contract is gRPC/protobuf3 — 14 services and 88 RPCs across robot control, navigation, configuration, TTS, skill dispatch, speech recognition, vision recognition and NLU — shipped as compiled descriptors inside the first-party Python SDK. The US-facing cloudminds.com domain no longer answers; the live corporate surface is dataarobotics.com. Added to the U.S. BIS Entity List in May 2020.

CloudMinds is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Frontier Tech, Robotics, Cloud Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence.

The CloudMinds catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

CloudMinds’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, authentication, and 17 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Developer Ergonomics scores 31.0 — up to +13.8 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/cloudminds/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/cloudminds to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
ONVIF Video Analytics (video surveillance, edge cameras, computer vision)	undeclared	-	-	-
Buf Schema Registry (public Protocol Buffers modules, gRPC / ConnectRPC schema publishers)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

  description: The gRPC surface a HARIX skill application uses to drive a CloudMinds cloud robot and to consume HARIX cloud
    AI. Five robotSkillApi services cover control (move/rotate/stop/emergency-stop, RCU reboot/shutdown, intent + action dispatch),
    navigation (maps, locations, patrol routes, charging pile attach/detach), configuration, text-to-speech and operator hand-off;
    robotmind covers skill registration and action dispatch; skill.asr, skill.vision and skill.nlu cover speech recognition
    (unary + bidirectional streaming), thirteen vision detectors and intent detection; and the serviceapp package defines
    the callback services a skill app implements to receive recognition results and vision events pushed back from HARIX.
    No base URL is published — the SDK takes the gRPC target as a caller supplied parameter bound per robot deployment.
