Agility Robotics

An American bipedal humanoid robot company whose Digit robot is already commercially deployed in logistics warehouses.

Agility Robotics was spun out of Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Laboratory in 2015 and is headquartered in Salem, Oregon; co-founder Jonathan Hurst founded that lab and has long studied dynamic bipedal walking, and the current CEO is Peggy Johnson. Its early product was Cassie, a legs-only research platform; a torso and arms were later added to create the humanoid Digit, mainly used to move totes in warehouses, billed under a 'robot-as-a-service' model to customers including GXO, Schaeffler, a Toyota plant in Canada, and Mercado Libre. In 2023 the company announced its own humanoid factory, RoboFab, in Salem. In March 2026 the brand was shortened to Agility; in June it announced a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI to go public via a SPAC at a deal valuation of about $2.5 billion, planning to trade under the ticker AGLT; in September it released Digit 5, its fifth generation, built around cage-free collaborative safety.

ExampleIn 2024, GXO signed the first robot-as-a-service contract with Agility, using Digit to move totes at a Spanx warehouse in Georgia.
