Verdict
Superman leads on 1 of the 2 weighted dimensions both makers disclose.
Digit Logistics Humanoid leads on battery life (3.5 h vs 1.5 h).
Superman leads on max speed (12.66 m/s vs 1.5 m/s).
Left out because at least one manufacturer does not publish a figure: price and payload.
Digit Logistics Humanoid
Engineered specifically to solve human-scaled logistics constraints. Digit walks forward, backward, turns, squats, and handles plastic tote bins in structured warehouses.
Superman
Unitree's Superman is a prototype humanoid robot developed in just over three months, capable of a 2-meter standing high jump and top speed of 12.66 m/s. It serves as an experimental platform focused on highly dynamic lower-body locomotion without hands or grippers.
