The honest brief
Agility Robotics
While most humanoid rivals run pilots, Digit already does paid production work — over 100,000 totes moved in commercial deployment at GXO.
- Real production deployments
- Arc cloud platform for fleet ops
- US-based RoboFab mass production
- Pursuing ISO safety certification
- Enterprise RaaS only — no direct sales
- Scope limited to logistics tasks today
- Not yet cleared to work beside humans
Figure AI
Exited its OpenAI deal to own the full stack — Helix runs onboard, so hardware and AI are built end-to-end in-house.
- Proprietary Helix VLA model
- Full-stack hardware + AI
- Real pilots (BMW manufacturing)
- Figure 03 targets the home
- Not a buyable product yet
- Capital-intensive, long timelines
- General-purpose autonomy unproven at scale
When to pick which
Both cover Bipedal locomotion and Dexterous manipulation.
Pick Agility Robotics if you need Autonomous navigation.
- Autonomous navigation (secondary capability)
Pick Figure AI if you need Vision-language-action and Robot foundation model.
- Vision-language-action (primary capability)
- Robot foundation model (primary capability)
Agility Robotics leans on Bipedal locomotion and Dexterous manipulation as a headline capability; Figure AI treats them as secondary.
