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
Founded by former Tesla Optimus scientist Remi Cadene; unveiled its first robot just nine months after founding, with most physical specs undisclosed.
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.
