TMTPost reports from a China Post logistics center in Shenzhen's Longgang district that the robots deployed to parcel sorting in 2026 are not complete humanoids: some have a fixed lower body at a workstation with an upper body and dexterous hand or gripper, while others are arm-and-gripper rigs fixed at sorting points. The article argues sorting became embodied AI's early deployment site because it combines orders, repeat purchases, real-world data and a recirculation loop that tolerates mistakes. It relays vendor claims: Robot Era delivers a semi-humanoid body with its self-developed XHAND1 five-finger dexterous hand and says mature units run more than 10 effective hours a day; X Square Robot says an August 12 livestream with random parcels and no human backup reached 1,816 parcels per hour at over 98% success, and says its robots are already sorting at SF Express. The article also says Jijia Shijie signed a logistics framework agreement with Wuhan Post in August, Xinghaitu demonstrated a front warehouse with JD and signed a three-year cooperation, Daka Robotics ran a multi-robot picking livestream in a Tianjin warehouse, and AgiBot's G2 Max was deployed in JD's Zhilang warehouse.
