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
Dynamic/acrobatic research humanoid capable of ~30cm vertical jumps and parkour-style maneuvers, from Prof. Sangbae Kim's Cheetah-quadruped lab.
