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.
MenteeBot
MenteeBot is an early-stage research humanoid from Mentee Robotics, the Israeli developer Mobileye agreed to acquire in a deal announced January 2026. There is no consumer product, price, or delivery date on record; the editorial position is honest-absence, with the Mobileye acquisition (an AV-perception-to-humanoid thesis) as the reason to watch it rather than buy it.
