Digit at San Antonio

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.

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.
