Humanoids
DEPLOY tracks 156 makers (including Unitree Robotics, UBTech Robotics, and Agility Robotics), 216 models, and 282 deployments on the record, most recently NEO at United States (home deployments). Bipedal robots designed for general-purpose physical work.
Humanoids are the canonical verified-vs-claimed category in physical AI: high marketing-claim density, sparse verified-deployment record outside a handful of named operators. DEPLOY treats this category with full editorial depth. Every reviewed deployment carries a named site, source, and operator; every capability claim carries an autonomy-level tag distinguishing demonstrated from teleoperated work.
Featured deployments
GXO Flowery Branch and Agility Robotics Digit
The first humanoid robot deployed to a paying commercial customer's live workplace. June 5, 2024 commercial start; 100,000+ totes moved by late 2025; the canonical reference for what sustained humanoid-in-warehouse operation looks like.
BMW Spartanburg and Figure 02
The completed industrial humanoid pilot. From January 2024 partnership announcement through November 2025 official retirement, two Figure 02 robots produced 1,250 hours of operation, supported 30,000+ BMW X3s, and handled 90,000+ parts. The cleanest published case study in commercial humanoid evaluation.
