Editorial summaries

Booster T1

The Booster T1, from China's Booster Robotics, is a research and developer humanoid prominent in the wave of Chinese humanoids shown at CES 2026. There is no verified consumer price or delivery date on record in DEPLOY's registry. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research and applies verified-vs-claimed discipline: commercial-ramping marketing and demonstrations are common across this cohort, but third-party verified deployment is the bar, and it is not yet met here.

Digit

Digit is the cohort's commercial verification anchor: the most-verified-hours humanoid in the registry, with Agility's GXO Flowery Branch deployment doing the load-bearing work. The maker-facility rule applies in reverse here. GXO operates Digit on customer-paid freight inside GXO's own warehouses, which is the commercial-deployment shape that internal-facility pilots from Tesla, 1X, and others do not yet have.

Agility describes Digit's operational envelope as autonomous mobile manipulation in structured logistics; the verification anchor is what operators document at the customer site, not Agility's spec sheet.
