Agility and GXO Logistics plan expanded deployment of Digit humanoid

Agility Robotics and GXO Logistics today said they are expanding their partnership to deploy Agility’s Digit humanoid robot in GXO sites in North Carolina and Tennessee.

“GXO was the first customer to put Digit to work in live operations under a commercial agreement, and expanding to additional sites is the clearest signal that the value is real,” stated Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility. “Customers are moving beyond asking whether humanoid robots can work to deciding where they can scale them. Years of experience performing real work in GXO’s operations have shaped how we build, deploy and support Digit, and we’re focused on disciplined execution as we grow this partnership.”

Founded in 2015, Agility Robotics said it has more than 65,000 hours of real-world operation working with industry safety standards. The Salem, Ore.-based company recently got U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approval for its planned merger with special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Churchill Capital Corp. XI as it prepares to go public.

In 2024, Digit earned Agility the inaugural RBR50 Robot of the Year award for being one of the first humanoids to enter commercial trials. It received 2026 honors for moving more than 100,000 totes for GXO last year. This month, the company chose Nyobolt for fast charging, expanded its partnership with NVIDIA, and said it plans to deploy Digit at an AGCO factory for agricultural equipment in 2027.
