Editorial summaries
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.
Fourier GR-3
The GR-3 is the flagship full-size humanoid from Fourier Intelligence, a Chinese company rooted in medical and rehabilitation robotics, a focus distinct from the consumer-home cohort. There is no consumer product, price, or availability on record; the editorial position is honest-absence.
Common questions
- What is the difference between Digit and Fourier GR-3?
- Digit and Fourier GR-3 are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. They differ in maker, maturity, price, verified deployments, and how much of their autonomy is independently verified. See the table above for the full head-to-head; each figure is sourced.
- Is Digit or Fourier GR-3 more autonomous?
- Digit has more capabilities independently verified as autonomous on the DEPLOY registry than Fourier GR-3. DEPLOY counts a capability as autonomous only when verified at a real deployment, not from a demo or a vendor claim.
- Which has more verified deployments, Digit or Fourier GR-3?
- Digit has more verified deployments (8) on the DEPLOY registry than Fourier GR-3 (0). DEPLOY counts a deployment only when confirmed at a named site with a primary source.
