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
Unveiled August 2024, STAR1 set a bipedal-robot speed record of 3.6 m/s during a 34-minute run across the Gobi Desert. It uses RobotEra's full-direct-drive joints (up to 400 Nm) and the in-house 12-DOF XHAND1 dexterous hand.
