      "No manufacturer source states Alpha's height, weight, or degrees-of-freedom with a checkable literal quote. Clone's own /research/ specs page currently reads 'We are currently researching, page will be available soon' (accessed 2026-09-20). Aggregator sites (Humanoid Index, Humanoid.guide, etc.) widely repeat figures of ~170 cm / ~60 kg / 164 DOF, but per the evidence rules these do not qualify as a claimed-status source because they do not cite a traceable manufacturer statement for those exact numbers. Specs are left empty rather than sourced to an aggregator.",
      "No checkout price has ever been published by Clone Robotics; the pre-order page collects a waitlist signup without a stated amount, so price_history is empty rather than guessed. Clone's 2023 pitch mentioned an aspirational ~$20,000 target price, and the founder repeated a similar figure in a March 2026 interview, but neither is an orderable price.",
      "No independent or uncut demonstration video of Alpha walking or performing tasks live could be confirmed during this build; walking is reported by trade press as a 2027 target, and the 2025 preorder window is reported to have passed without shipments. Delivery status is therefore recorded as 'claimed' (announced + preorder claim), not 'demonstrated' or 'shipped'.",
      "Clone Robotics' operational presence is reported in Wrocław, Poland (R&D/manufacturing) while corporate/investor materials list a US entity; manufacturer.country is set to US pending a single authoritative filing, and this should be revisited if a primary source pins one jurisdiction."

None was found -- coverage of Fourier's healthcare/rehab use cases describes GR-1 as designed for hospital and care-home tasks and cites '2,000+ organizations and hospitals' served as a manufacturer-side aggregate claim, but no specific institution's own channel or independent report names itself as a GR-1 recipient with a photo of its unit.

The next-generation Iron shown at 2025 AI Day (Nov 5, 2025) has different hand dexterity: CnEVPost's 2025 coverage states 'a hand with 22 degrees of freedom', while a separate report cited elsewhere put per-hand DOF at 21 and total body DOF at 76 for the 2025 version. Updated full-body height/weight for the 2025 generation were not confirmed by a primary or press source during this session, so the 2024 figures are kept as the current record and the hand-DOF conflict is flagged rather than resolved.",
      "No shipped or independently verified customer deployment was found; XPeng has stated mass production is targeted for end of 2026 with deliveries/showroom deployment planned for 2027, which is a plan, not a shipped or demonstrated-in-production status."

A distributor's own stock unit is not a first customer delivery in the RoboCup-team sense the task asked about, and no RoboCup team's own channel showing a specific received T1 with invoice/serial/customs was found in this pass. Independent buyer unboxings exist on YouTube (e.g. \"Unboxing & Getting Started with Booster T1\" by Generation Robots, a French robotics reseller) but again show a reseller's demo unit, not a clearly named end-customer delivery.

      "UBTech's own product page (ubtrobot.com/en/humanoid/products/walker-s2) is reachable and confirms payload and battery-swap claims directly, but does not state height or weight. Height (1.76 m) and DOF (52) here are sourced from a secondary aggregator (heyupnow.com) that republishes UBTech's launch claims without linking an original press release; no PR Newswire/Business Wire/IEEE Spectrum/Robot Report coverage with those exact figures was found during this session. Treat height/DOF as needing a stronger source in a follow-up.",
      "Weight could not be confirmed from any source checked; third-party aggregators disagree (43-77 kg depending on battery configuration), so it is omitted rather than guessed.",
      "The November 2025 mass-production/delivery announcement is UBTech's own press release (claimed-level evidence per schema); it names deployment partners but the fetched text contains no photo, serial number, or independent verification of a specific customer's unit, so delivery.status stays 'claimed' rather than 'shipped'.",
      "Shipped-bar re-check (2026-09-20), applying this site's actual rule (named customer + image via the customer's own or an independent channel; invoice/serial/unboxing/customs are alternatives, not an added requirement, so the earlier note requiring both was too strict and is superseded by this one): UBTech's own PR Newswire release (Nov 2025) names BYD, Foxconn, Geely, Zeekr, Audi-FAW etc. only as order sources/collaborators, with no photo tied to a specific customer's unit. The one strong independent-channel match found -- SCMP's photographed, on-the-record coverage of a Zeekr Ningbo deployment (published 2025-03-03, https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-trends/article/3300872/) -- explicitly names the model as 'Walker S1', not Walker S2 (Walker S2 was announced later, 2025-07-23), so it is evidence for a different generation and does not carry this record to shipped. No named customer with photographic evidence of a specific Walker S2 unit (as opposed to S1/S Lite) was found via customer or independent channels. Remains claimed, not shipped."
