Delivery evidence without an exact delivery date
A source publication or review date is not a confirmed receipt day.
- GXO reports Digit robots operational at its SPANX warehouse by the 27 June 2024 publication; the source does not establish the delivery day or count.2

The cited source was reviewed and supports this specific claim. This does not establish independent truth.

Evidence review: supported
The cited source was reviewed and supports this specific claim. This does not establish independent truth.

Needs review
The reviewed source does not provide enough evidence for this specific claim.

Evidence review: supported
The cited source was reviewed and supports this specific claim. This does not establish independent truth.
- Reason
- Joint release by customer and manufacturer supports operation at the named site; generation is not stated, so it is linked to Digit 4 only through the earlier Agility statement.

Notes
- This record covers Digit 4, the generation Agility retrospectively identifies at GXO and other production-floor customers after roughly three years of use by September 2026. Ford’s CES 2020 first-customer announcement concerns an earlier Digit generation and is not evidence for Digit 4. GXO’s operational deployment supports shipped status for this exact generation.
- No directly sourced height, weight, payload, or battery specifications for Digit 4 were located during this build, so specs remain empty rather than borrowing Digit 5 figures. See agility-digit for the distinct Digit 5 generation and its claimed specifications.
- Digit is sold as Robots-as-a-Service, not a one-time purchase, so price_history is intentionally empty.
- Shipped status rests on GXO’s named operational Digit deployment, with Agility’s 15 September 2026 account explicitly identifying the GXO robots as Digit 4. Amazon’s 2023 future-tense testing announcement remains insufficient for customer receipt in that report; Ford 2020 is excluded from this generation. Exact delivery dates, unit counts, and independent variant verification remain unknown.
- actuator_torque_nm, battery_wh, charge_time_min, sdk, warranty, and order_type remain omitted for lack of sourced figures for this generation. No exact first-customer-delivery event or sector is asserted.
- Scan 2026-10-27: the joint GXO/Agility release (2026-10-26) does not state which Digit generation goes to the new North Carolina and Tennessee sites. A Humanoids Daily headline says 'Starting With Digit 4'; that page was not verified, so the expansion is recorded as an announcement without a generation.
