Mercado Libre, Latin America's largest commerce and fintech ecosystem, announced a commercial agreement with Agility Robotics on December 10, 2025 to deploy the Digit humanoid robot at its fulfillment facility in San Antonio, Texas. Digit initially focuses on commerce-fulfillment tasks including moving totes and transporting materials, handling repetitive and physically strenuous roles that are difficult to staff. The companies have stated plans to explore additional use cases across Mercado Libre's warehouse network in Latin America, positioning the San Antonio deployment as a potential bridgehead for humanoid deployment into Latin American e-commerce fulfillment.
