Not applicable to heavy & off-road robots: Manipulation & Dexterity, 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 HVMX. Compare it only with other heavy & off-road robots — each category uses its own reference scales. See the full methodology →
Notable
Second-generation autonomy kit: 16 cameras in pods for 360° perception, no operator in the cab, offered as a retrofit to existing machines.
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.
