2026 Edition

Which autonomous robot is ahead, spec by spec?

Side-by-side specifications of humanoids, quadrupeds, warehouse robots, autonomous vehicles and drones, and of the companies that build them. No marketing claims without a link: every value cites its source.

Leaders by specWho holds each record among humanoids, from published numbers only. Each card is one spec, no weighting.

Click a column to sort. Superscripts link to the source of each value. n/p = not published by the manufacturer; we never estimate a missing value. DoF = degrees of freedom; hand DoF is per hand. Score (Performance Score v1, 0–100) and Value (Score points per $10,000 of list price) are computed by us from the published specs; how scores are calculated.

Set your own weights

Our weights are a judgement, so here are the controls. Move a slider and the Score and Value columns are recomputed with the same rule as the published scores; nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

The field, plottedTwo views of the same sheet. Figures are generic shapes scaled to published height, never likenesses.

Height to scaleMetres, as published. Dashed = height not published.

Payload vs massKilograms. Above the dashed line a robot is rated to carry more than half its own mass.

Can you buy one?Humanoids sold, leased or open for pre-order today, with the price the manufacturer publishes.

DisclosureWe earn nothing from these links. If that ever changes, every paid link will be marked as such, and it will never change which robot leads a spec.

Head-to-headsEach pair has its own page with every shared spec and its sources.

How the numbers are made

Full methodology →

Primary sources only
Manufacturer pages, spec sheets and filings first, then established trade press. Spec aggregators are used only as leads, never cited.
One unit per spec
Every value is converted to a single canonical unit (metres, kilograms, hours, km/h). The original figure stays in the note on the robot's page.
Gaps stay gaps
If a manufacturer has not published a value, the cell says so. No estimates, no averages, no "approximately" from a video frame.
