Evidence Tracker

Deployment signals buyers should verify.

Each record separates what is publicly signaled from what still needs proof.

Agility Robotics - Digit

GXO / SPANX

Strong Commercial agreement signal
Signal

GXO and Agility announced a multi-year RaaS agreement involving Digit and SPANX fulfillment operations.

Industry
Logistics
Use case
Tote handling / material movement
Evidence type
Commercial agreement signal
Status
Publicly announced commercial agreement
Buyer meaning

Customer-side announcement supports a named RaaS agreement for SPANX logistics operations; operating metrics remain undisclosed.

Still needs proof

Public metrics on uptime, intervention rate, cycle time, and cost per move remain missing.

Agility Robotics - Digit

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada

Strong Commercial agreement signal
Signal

Agility announced a RaaS commercial agreement with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada following a pilot.

Industry
Automotive manufacturing
Use case
Industrial material movement
Evidence type
Commercial agreement signal
Status
Publicly announced commercial agreement
Buyer meaning

Company-announced RaaS agreement following a pilot; useful for structured manufacturing evaluation but not buyer-readiness proof.

Still needs proof

Public deployment scale, task duration, autonomy level, buyer ROI, and operating metrics remain unclear.

Agility Robotics - Digit

Mercado Libre

Strong Commercial agreement signal
Signal

Agility and Mercado Libre announced a commercial agreement to integrate Digit robots into fulfillment operations, beginning in Texas.

Industry
Fulfillment / logistics
Use case
Warehouse material movement
Evidence type
Commercial agreement signal
Status
Publicly announced commercial agreement
Buyer meaning

Supports warehouse use-case credibility, but does not prove completed scaled deployment or operating performance.

Still needs proof

Public information on robot count, throughput, supervision model, and ROI is limited.

Figure AI - Figure 02

BMW

Moderate External pilot signal
Signal

Publicly demonstrated or reported BMW manufacturing collaboration signal for Figure 02.

Industry
Automotive manufacturing
Use case
Manufacturing task support
Evidence type
External pilot / manufacturing collaboration
Status
Publicly demonstrated / reported
Buyer meaning

Important manufacturing signal, but not yet enough for broad procurement confidence.

Still needs proof

Need clarity on task repeatability, autonomy, safety constraints, uptime, and deployment scale.

Apptronik - Apollo

GXO / Mercedes-Benz

Moderate Joint test or evaluation signal
Signal

Publicly announced GXO / Mercedes-Benz related evaluation signal for Apollo.

Industry
Logistics / automotive
Use case
Industrial automation exploration
Evidence type
Named partnership / evaluation signal
Status
Publicly announced
Buyer meaning

Relevant market signal, but still earlier-stage than named operating evidence.

Still needs proof

Need public task-level data, pilot duration, autonomy model, and commercial structure.

UBTECH - Walker S-series

Automotive / manufacturing signals

Moderate External pilot signal
Signal

Publicly reported automotive and manufacturing-related signals for Walker S-series.

Industry
Automotive manufacturing
Use case
Factory logistics / inspection / task support
Evidence type
Manufacturing pilot signal
Status
Publicly reported
Buyer meaning

Important China industrial humanoid signal, but public evidence quality varies by source.

Still needs proof

Need independently verifiable operating metrics, customer confirmation detail, and support model clarity.

Validation Ladder

Not every public announcement is a deployment.

Humanoids Watch classifies signals by how close they are to public operating evidence.

Evidence posture No public signal

No public deployment signal or buyer-relevant evidence.

Evidence posture Vendor-stated interest

Vendor claim, concept, render, or internal-only statement.

Evidence posture Named partnership

Partner or customer named, but no operating evidence shown.

Evidence posture Joint test or evaluation

Controlled test, evaluation, or collaborative demonstration.

Evidence posture External pilot signal

Tested with an external organization in a defined environment.

Evidence posture Named operating signal

Customer or partner describes a workflow or pilot context.

Evidence posture Commercial agreement signal

Commercial agreement or deployment relationship publicly described.

Evidence posture Repeated or expanded signal

Repeated, expanded, or multi-site deployment signal.

Evidence posture Operating metrics disclosed

Public uptime, throughput, intervention rate, safety, or cost data.

Evidence posture Independent validation

Independent test, benchmark, audit, or third-party validation.
