What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Now very heavily funded ($520M Feb-2026 round at ~$5B valuation, Google + Mercedes-Benz backing, Jabil + GXO partners) but still pilot-stage with no public production uptime numbers; humanoid general-purpose autonomy is the least-mature substrate in this category
Next
Monitor the Jabil 'Apollo builds Apollo' line and GXO DC graduation from pilot; revisit when a published multi-month uptime/throughput figure from a production (non-lab) site exists
