Digit v5
Next-gen Agility humanoid; designed to enter as-built human environments without safety barriers; >$300M multiyear orders.
Current platform
Cassie
Cassie is Agility Robotics' bipedal robot (legs only, no torso), launched in 2017 as a dynamic-locomotion research platform; it was used widely in academic robotics and set a Guinness World Record for the fastest 100 m by a bipedal robot. It preceded the company's commercial Digit humanoid.
Current platform
Digit
Agility Robotics' bipedal humanoid designed for warehouse and logistics work, carrying up to 16 kg per cycle on a 4-hour battery. Amazon began testing Digit in October 2023 for tote recycling at a fulfillment R&D center south of Seattle; GXO Logistics signed a multi-year deployment agreement in June 2024 and logged over 100,000 totes moved by November 2025; Mercado Libre deployed Digit at its San Antonio, Texas fulfillment center in late 2025. Agility's RoboFab facility in Salem, Oregon (70,000 sq ft, targeting 10,000-plus units per year at scale) opened in 2023 as the world's first dedicated humanoid robot manufacturing factory.

Claims ledger
Public, dated claims by Agility Robotics, each tracked against the evidence. Status is a DEPLOY assessment from primary sources: verified means an independent source confirms it; contradicted means one refutes it; open means the outcome is not yet determinable. Every entry keeps its verbatim quote and source so you can check the call yourself.
- OpenTimeline · claimed 2026-06-24 · deadline 2026-12-31
“Agility Robotics will go public via SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, valuing the startup at about $2.5 billion”
SPAC merger announced June 2026. Deal completion pending shareholder vote. If completed, Agility becomes the first publicly traded pure-play humanoid robotics company.
- Partly trueTimeline · claimed 2026-03-01 · deadline 2026-12-31
“Factories and labs by end of 2026, then hospitals, hotels, and your home”
Factories/labs deployment is verified (GXO, Toyota, Amazon). Hospitals/hotels/home expansion has not been announced. The "your home" claim is aspirational with no timeline or deployment evidence.
- VerifiedCustomer · claimed 2026-01-01
“Agility's humanoid robots are deployed today in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics”
Digit is deployed at GXO Logistics, Toyota Canada, Amazon, and Mercado Libre. "World's first commercially deployed humanoid robot" per multiple sources. https://blog.robozaps.com/b/agility-robotics-digit-review
- VerifiedCapacity · claimed 2025-11-01
“Digit passed 100,000 totes moved”
100K totes milestone confirmed in November 2025. This is a concrete, measurable deployment metric — the strongest production evidence of any humanoid company.
