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.
Galaxea R1
Galaxea Dynamics sells the R1 humanoid directly through its own website, with the R1 Pro listed at $69,999 and the R1 Lite at $39,999. The product page states units are in stock and ship within 15 days. Price and availability are verified from the maker's own product page.
