Score breakdown
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
Mid-scale (0.85m) academic research humanoid demonstrating a narrow sim-to-real gap; predecessor to the fully open-source Berkeley Humanoid Lite.
