Have there been any deployments of humanoid robots other than digit?

Lots of testing and trials of course but I don't think the AI for a variety of tasks has got to the level for consumer robots to be sold yet.

Any other refs we should include or discuss before calling mods to resolve?

But now, thanks to AI, it's genuinely happening and this year the first truly multi-purpose domestic bots will start to enter homes.
But NEO and Eggie have a secret weapon - they are being controlled by human operators.
This is the thing the promotional videos don't show - and something that the Silicon Valley companies we visited are keen to downplay.

Tesla Optimus 2026 sales; pre-orders likely
Figure 02 Alpha testing late 2025; limited access
Digit Available now; fleet options
Seems to agree only Digit deployed but is aimed at commercial factory/warehouse use.
@mods Inactive creator. A few links above seem to show only digit deployed. I have only found ~4 customers for Digit Mercado Libre, GXO Logistics, Amazon and Spanx which are all only factory or warehouse use.
Resolve please.
While consumer robots have made significant strides in recent years, having a widely available robot by the end of 2025 that can efficiently clean dishes and handle diverse household chores remains a challenging goal. Current advancements like robot vacuums and mops are promising, but tasks like dishwashing or folding clothes require intricate dexterity, contextual awareness, and robust AI capabilities, which are still under development. By 2025, we might see air duct cleaning Park City more advanced prototypes or niche products at premium prices, but widespread adoption of versatile chore-performing robots will likely take a few more years as technology matures and becomes cost-effective for mass production.
By the end of 2025, the quest for a household hero might just reach its peak. Imagine a robot, not just any bot, but one that tackles dishes, dances around chores, and maybe even fetches your slippers. While we're not quite there yet, the dream of having a metallic butler at any price is buzzing through the air. Meanwhile, for those of us still rooted in today's reality, professional cleaners are our go-to knights in shining armor. They swoop in, leaving cleanliness in their wake—no futuristic promises needed. And for those in Croydon, a special treat awaits with a cashback offer of up to £150 to sweeten the deal. Check it out here: https://www.emop.co.uk/croydon-cleaner. So, while we wait for our robot overlords to arrive, let's enjoy the human touch that turns our homes into castles, minus the moat of dirty dishes.
To elaborate: robots folding clothes, doing dishes, tidying up, vacuuming (no Rommbas don't count lol). Such a robot needs to be on sale at any price point (presumably very high). Think tesla's new humanoid robot. I voted yes but I am a deep learning researcher with my head up my ass about the whole thing. Of course, I think it will happen.
