Humanoid pilots: how to judge a deployment claim
Separate demonstration from structured deployment.
Three tests
Is the workstation structured, is the error cost acceptable, and is there a documented hand-over path to production?
Evidence
Ask for the number of units in daily operation, hours per shift and incident logs.
Reality check
Most public cases remain structured handling, inspection or logistics work rather than high-mix assembly.
