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

Sanctuary AI

Carbon's hybrid stack — symbolic reasoning plus LLMs and RL — cuts Phoenix task onboarding to under 24 hours.

  • Highly dexterous hands
  • Hybrid Carbon control system
  • New tasks taught in under a day
  • Explainable reasoning layer
  • Not generally available; enterprise/pilot
  • Narrow deployed task range so far
  • Capital-intensive hardware
