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.

Walker S2

The Walker S2 is UBTech's enterprise humanoid, with verified factory pilots at BYD, FAW-Volkswagen, Foxconn, Geely, NIO, and Zeekr in China. UBTech is publicly traded on the Hong Kong exchange. The Walker S2 is not sold to consumers; the editorial position is honest-absence on consumer pricing.
