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
Uses miniaturized hydraulic actuation (rare among humanoids) for 21-DoF hands with 5 mN tactile sensitivity — among the most dexterous robotic hands in any commercial program; learns new tasks in under 24 hours. Retired from commercial marketing in June 2026 when Sanctuary pivoted to Physical AI software.
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.
