Agility Robotics is a US humanoid robotics company building Digit, a bipedal robot designed to work inside existing warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities. The company spun out of Oregon State University in 2015 and is headquartered in Salem, Oregon with manufacturing operations in the United States.
Digit is roughly the size of an adult human at about 5 feet 9 inches tall, with two spring-loaded legs and two arms capable of lifting payloads in the 35-pound range. It is engineered to handle tote moves, palletization, and other repetitive material-handling tasks alongside human workers, without requiring custom infrastructure or fixed automation. Agility runs a managed-deployment model in which customers pay for robot hours rather than purchasing units outright.
Notable customers and partners include Amazon (via the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and pilot programs) and GXO Logistics, where Digit fleets have been deployed in live production environments. In 2024, Agility opened RoboFab, a dedicated humanoid manufacturing facility in Salem with capacity to build thousands of robots per year, which it argues differentiates it from rivals still operating at prototype scale.
Agility Robotics closed a roughly $400 million Series C in early 2025, valuing the company in the ~$1.75B-$2.1B range. Investors include DCVC and Playground Global (lead), the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, NVIDIA's NVentures, Sony Innovation Fund, Humanoid Global Holdings, and Safar Partners. Prior rounds include a $150M Series B led by DCVC and Playground Global. Total reported funding is now well over $500M.
Against rivals such as Figure AI, Apptronik, 1X, and Tesla Optimus, Agility Robotics is differentiated by its narrower focus on industrial work today, its operating manufacturing line, and its production deployments with logistics customers. Its main risks are intensifying competition for warehouse contracts and execution as it scales fleet size, reliability, and unit economics.
