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 full-size bipedal humanoid, unveiled late 2025 with dual 7-DOF arms (20 kg combined payload) and the 11-DOF DH11 dexterous hand featuring ~1,000 tactile-sensor pixels. Entered pre-sale rather than full commercial availability.
