Humanoid capability tracker: what can each robot actually do?

A single task-by-task view of NEO, Figure 03, Unitree G1 and Optimus — designed to be updated as the evidence changes instead of forcing readers to piece together manufacturer demos and headlines themselves.

Capability matrix

This is deliberately conservative. “Demonstrated” does not silently become “reliable autonomous consumer feature”.

Why RightRobot does not give humanoids an overall score yet

RightRobot is deliberately withholding a public overall 0–100 robot ranking for now. The evidence is not yet deep or independent enough to justify telling consumers that one early humanoid is numerically “better” than another. The public tracker therefore shows an evidence-depth band and task-level evidence rather than a pseudo-precise confidence percentage.

Current evidence depth: Moderate
1X NEO
Not yet recommendation-ready

Why no public overall score yet: current evidence is too uneven for a precise 0–100 consumer ranking to be responsible. RightRobot therefore shows an evidence-depth band and task-level notes instead.

  • Strongest current consumer-home proposition in this group.
  • Expert Mode and limited independent owner evidence constrain autonomy/intervention scores.
  • Soft/tendon-driven domestic design is a positive safety signal, not a substitute for broad independent home testing.
Current evidence depth: Limited

Not yet recommendation-ready

Why no public overall score yet: current evidence is too uneven for a precise 0–100 consumer ranking to be responsible. RightRobot therefore shows an evidence-depth band and task-level notes instead.

  • Explicitly designed for home tasks and described by Figure as autonomous.
  • No normal consumer price/order path yet, limiting value/support assessment.
  • Independent consumer-home evidence remains limited.
Current evidence depth: Moderate
Unitree G1
Not yet recommendation-ready

Why no public overall score yet: current evidence is too uneven for a precise 0–100 consumer ranking to be responsible. RightRobot therefore shows an evidence-depth band and task-level notes instead.

  • Strong buyable-hardware and mobility benchmark.
  • Not positioned as a turnkey autonomous household helper.
  • Developer/platform orientation suppresses household usefulness and low-intervention scores.
Current evidence depth: Very limited
Tesla Optimus
Not yet recommendation-ready

Why no public overall score yet: current evidence is too uneven for a precise 0–100 consumer ranking to be responsible. RightRobot therefore shows an evidence-depth band and task-level notes instead.

  • High long-term potential but no public consumer purchase route or official retail price.
  • Most household criteria remain future-facing rather than consumer-verifiable.
  • Low evidence confidence is retained internally so the methodology cannot hide weak evidence behind a high raw capability estimate.

How this becomes Humanoid Home Fit later

When there are enough real consumer choices, the same score can become home-specific. A household with stairs, children, pets, privacy sensitivity or a strong need for laundry/dish handling should receive different recommendations rather than one universal “best humanoid”.
