The same robot turns up in different configurations, so the dex groups sightings by family, then by variant: a variant is told apart by its signature — whether an arm is fitted, what sits on top, and how it moves. A sighting that matches no variant starts a new one; a robot that matches no family starts a new family.
An existing design by its original makers — the Robodex records Andino with provenance: License is per-package LICENSE files in the repo (each reads BSD 3-Clause, (c) 2023 Ekumen Inc.); the repo root carries no single LICENSE file. Spec values were read from andino_description/config/andino/*.yaml and the andino_hardware BOM. (license: BSD-3-Clause)
