Agility Robotics is a US humanoid maker whose Digit robot has ~100 units deployed and 65,000+ operating hours across nine commercial facilities (the deepest verified commercial hour count in the industry), including a 7-unit Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada deployment and 100,000+ totes moved at GXO. It announced a SPAC merger with Churchill Capital XI (June 2026, $2.5B pre-money, close expected end-2026), which would make it the first Western pure-play humanoid to go public, with customers including Schaeffler, GXO, and Mercado Libre and Amazon as an investor and pilot site. It is pre-revenue at disclosure level, with $300M+ in milestone-gated multi-year Digit v5 bookings on a RaaS model.

Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
BYD (Shenzhen, China; HK/Shenzhen listed) is the world's largest NEV maker and is deploying its in-house 'God's Eye' assisted-driving suite across its entire lineup, from the ~$9,600 Seagull up. By end-2025 more than 2.3 million China vehicles carried God's Eye, and in Jan-26 it launched God's Eye 5.0 (RL-based, end-to-end); it has also unveiled the Xuanji A3, described as China's first 4nm smart-driving chip supporting L3/L4. The distinguishing point is mass-market democratization of ADAS at unprecedented scale; the open question is real autonomy level (still L2 assisted-driving in practice) versus marketing.
