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.
PAL TALOS
TALOS is a research humanoid from PAL Robotics, a Spanish company and one of the few European humanoid makers, used by European research consortia and labs. It is a research-tools platform, not a consumer product; the editorial position is honest-absence on consumer pricing.
