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

For the current product Atlas, the manufacturer distinguishes 50 kg instantaneous weight capacity from 30 kg sustained capacity. The 50 kg figure is not a sustained task-load rating.

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.
