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
Pudu's first humanoid, a semi-humanoid with a human-like upper body on an omnidirectional wheeled chassis, unveiled in 2024. It offers 10 kg per-arm lift, ~0.1 mm end-point precision, and over 8 hours of battery runtime.
