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.
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.
Specifications
Evidence is attached to each value. Robot-wide source links do not verify every field. A source about an older value cannot support the current specification.
