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.
Reflex
Reflex Robotics' Reflex is a wheeled mobile-manipulator humanoid for warehouse and logistics operations: a sub-2-foot wheeled base, dual arms (25 pounds per arm, 50 pounds combined), an adjustable spine reaching floor to high shelf, a 16-plus-hour battery, and swappable three-finger grippers with suction. The verified-vs-claimed point is the autonomy posture: Reflex is designed for teleoperated deployment with a learning-from-demonstrations path toward autonomy, not an autonomous worker today. DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity with one verified deployment. As industrial and logistics equipment it has no consumer price, and its wheeled base distinguishes it from the bipedal-humanoid cohort.
