This is a corrected snapshot of the humanoid industry as of this article’s original date, May 14, 2026. The first version overstated what had been delivered. Below, each company is described by the stage it had reached and the date it said so, with later events kept separate.

In paid commercial work

Agility Robotics and GXO. The clearest example of ongoing paid work. GXO and Agility signed a multi-year robots-as-a-service agreement in June 2024, after a pilot in late 2023, to deploy Digit at a GXO facility serving SPANX in Georgia. Digit moved totes from cobots onto conveyors. Both companies described it as the first formal commercial deployment of humanoid robots.

A finished factory deployment

Figure AI at BMW. In November 2025 Figure reported on an 11-month Figure 02 deployment at BMW’s Spartanburg plant: more than 90,000 sheet-metal parts loaded, more than 1,250 hours of runtime on a 10-hour weekday shift, and a contribution to more than 30,000 X3 vehicles. Figure then began retiring Figure 02. By May 2026 that deployment was over, and its successor was not yet on the BMW floor.

Factories building for internal fleets

Figure. On April 29, 2026, Figure said its BotQ plant had delivered over 350 Figure 03 robots and reached a rate of one per hour. It said those robots go to internal research and development, data collection, household tasks and commercial use-case development. That is production, but most of it was going to Figure’s own fleet.

1X. In its spring factory update, 1X said preorders filled its next year of production capacity, 10,000 NEOs, within five days of its October 28 launch and that its Hayward, California, factory was ramping toward 10,000 units a year. It also said current NEOs “are being prioritized for our internal team” for testing in homes, with customer deliveries starting in 2026. Preorders and internal units are not deliveries.

What came after this snapshot

Several later events should not be read back into May. Figure’s dated news index shows a commercial agreement with Catalyst Brands on May 26 and Figure 03 arriving at BMW on June 30, 2026. GXO and Agility announced two more Digit sites on October 26, and Agility listed on Nasdaq on November 5.

Why the labels matter

An industry snapshot should separate an order, a pilot, a delivery, internal use and repeat customer work. In May 2026, one humanoid program in the United States was clearly in ongoing paid customer work. Claims that batteries had crossed a universal eight-hour threshold, and that Figure and Tesla were on course to ship 10,000 units each, were not supported and have been removed.
