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
RETIRED historical baseline: the final 2011 model stood 130 cm with 57 DOF, ~0.75 m/s walk and ~9 km/h run. Honda halted development in 2018; last public appearance March 2022. Included as a reference point the modern generation now far exceeds.
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.
