Not applicable to quadruped / legged robots: Ecosystem & Viability. Excluded from the index and the remaining weights renormalised — not scored zero.
Each pillar is scored 0–100 from published specs, then weighted into the QMX. Compare it only with other quadruped / legged robots — each category uses its own reference scales. See the full methodology →
Notable
The only Ex-certified (explosion-proof) legged inspection robot; ANYbotics reports over $150M in pre-orders and bookings for the platform.
Deployment evidence
Legacy mentions are unverified. A partnership or announcement is not proof of an active deployment. Evidence labels do not change HMX v2 scoring.
Specifications
Evidence is attached to each value. Robot-wide source links do not verify every field. A source about an older value cannot support the current specification.
