Each pillar is scored 0–100 from published specs, then weighted into the HMX. Compare it only with other humanoid robots — each category uses its own reference scales. See the full methodology →
Notable
The manufacturer specifies approximately four hours of runtime per removable battery pack. Battery swapping extends operating availability; it does not establish longer single-charge endurance.
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.
