Agility Robotics Digit holds a distinction no other platform on this list can claim: it is the first humanoid robot deployed in production environments without physical safety barriers separating it from human workers. This is not a minor operational footnote — it is the breakthrough that makes co-worker robotics a practical reality rather than a theoretical goal. Every other humanoid in commercial use either operates in caged environments or requires dedicated zones. Digit works in the same space as people. Deployments span a blue-chip roster: Amazon warehouses, GXO logistics, Schaeffler precision manufacturing, Mercado Libre (Latin America's largest e-commerce platform), and Toyota's RAV4 plant in Georgetown, Kentucky, where seven Digit units began operations in February 2026. The cumulative production record exceeds 100,000 totes handled — a concrete throughput metric that validates the platform in real logistics environments. Digit's next-generation payload reaches 50 lbs (22.6 kg), sufficient for the majority of warehouse material-handling tasks. The Robots-as-a-Service pricing model is a deliberate strategic choice: rather than requiring capital expenditure for the robot itself, Agility charges on a per-robot-hour basis, dramatically lowering the barrier to enterprise adoption and aligning vendor incentives with operational uptime. The ISO functional safety certification expected in mid-to-late 2026 will formalize what the deployments have already demonstrated: Digit is safe enough to work beside humans without engineering controls. Once certified, it becomes the default choice for any enterprise evaluating humanoid robots for mixed human-robot workforces. Amazon's continued partnership provides a distribution and validation channel that no other robotics company can match at scale.
