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.
K2 Bumblebee
Kepler Robotics describes the K2 (Bumblebee) as commercially available and in mass production, priced at about $34,000 (RMB 248,000) per unit per the company's official announcement. Most volume is sold through enterprise framework agreements rather than individual retail. The price is verified from Kepler's own release.
