188 robots · 100 companies · 9 categories
Every humanoid robot, ranked and compared on the evidence.
Compare recorded robot specifications and inspect their evidence. Eligible humanoid records receive a 0–100 Humanoid Metric (HMX) score across six weighted pillars — autonomy, manipulation, mobility, hardware, commercial readiness and ecosystem. Legacy baselines may have incomplete field review; this score does not establish task success.
169 of those are humanoids, scored on the HMX. The other 19 sit in 8 further categories — quadrupeds, cobots, AMRs, aerial, marine, heavy, surgical and domestic — each scored on its own index, never a borrowed humanoid one.

What else the index covers
Beyond humanoids
188 robots sit in 9 categories, from quadrupeds and cobots to surgical and marine platforms. Each category has its own index and its own reference scales — QMX for quadrupeds, MMX for manipulators, MRMX for mobile robots — because a quadruped's 71 and a humanoid's 71 answer different questions.
The parts behind the specs
47 component manufacturers across 8 categories and 11 countries — actuators, harmonic drives, dexterous hands, batteries, onboard compute and sensors. These are the suppliers and cost drivers behind the specifications the index scores. Profiled and cited, not ranked.
Benchmarks — and the gap
3 standardized benchmark protocols are registered, and not one robot has a published result under any of them. Every HMX score is computed from disclosed specifications, never a measured run. That gap is shown rather than papered over.
An open standard, in draft
The Humanoid Interop Standard proposes one machine-readable way to describe a robot's capabilities so an LLM controller can command any compliant machine. Layer 0 is live — every robot here already emits a manifest — and the whole dataset is readable as public JSON.
What the index rewards
Capability over choreography
Autonomy is the heaviest pillar (25%). Teleoperation starts at 35 points and can reach 48 with AI and compute bonuses. Overall ranking also depends on the other five pillars; it does not establish autonomous task performance.
Hands do the work
Manipulation & dexterity carry 20%. High-DoF, tactile, dexterous hands with real payload separate robots that walk around from robots that do the job.
Shipping beats slideware
Commercial readiness (15%) combines product maturity with recorded deployment mentions. Consult the deployment ledger for evidence: legacy mentions are unverified and do not establish paid or active production.
Every number is cited
Robot profiles include source links and a confidence grade. Evidence quality varies: multiple links do not guarantee independent support for every specification. Consult the sources and confidence notes before comparing.
humanoidmetric.com in 2026: the index at a glance
humanoidmetric.com scores 169 humanoid robots and 19 robots in other categories, from 100 companies. 77 humanoids have catalogue labels for commercial or limited production; these labels are not customer-confirmed operating evidence.
Recent additions include Optimus Gen 1 (Bumblebee) (Tesla) (listed — information not verified), CASBOT SE (Lingbao CASBOT (Zhongke Huiling)) (listed — information not verified) and NAO 6 (Maxtronics Robotics) (listed — information not verified). Field-level review status and unknowns remain visible on each profile.
