“NIST is proposing the first standardized performance benchmark for humanoid robots since the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge,” noted Aaron Prather, director of the Robotics & Autonomous Systems Program at ASTM International, on LinkedIn. “In a decade that’s seen [Tesla‘s] Optimus, Figure, Agility, Apptronik, Unitree, and a dozen other humanoid platforms attract billions in investment, there is still no agreed-upon way to measure what any of them can actually do.
