Agility Robotics :: Practical, Production-Ready Humanoid Robots for Industrial Automation

Agility Robotics is a pioneering American humanoid robotics company founded in 2015 as a spin-off from Oregon State University. Headquartered in Salem, Oregon, with additional operations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company develops and deploys practical, production-ready humanoid robots for industrial automation. Agility’s flagship robot, Digit, is the world’s first humanoid robot in commercial production deployment, currently working in warehouses and manufacturing facilities alongside human workers. The company’s mission is to create safe, reliable humanoids that augment the workforce, addressing labor shortages in logistics, distribution, and manufacturing while maintaining a strong emphasis on safety, supply chain resilience, and measurable ROI. Agility has raised significant funding and partners with major industrial players like Toyota and Mercado Libre.

Agility’s robots are designed for real-world industrial tasks rather than research prototypes. They feature robust bipedal locomotion, dexterous manipulation, and advanced AI for dynamic environments.

Key Robot-Based Products:

• Digit: A full-scale, general-purpose humanoid robot approximately 5’9″ tall and weighing around 140 lbs. Digit is capable of autonomous navigation, object manipulation, and collaborative work with humans. It is currently deployed in production environments for material handling, order fulfillment, and repetitive tasks. Recent innovations include improved mobility, payload handling, and integration with warehouse management systems. Digit is assembled in Salem, Oregon, with a high percentage of U.S.-sourced parts for supply chain resilience.
• Agility Arc: The cloud-based platform that powers Digit. It provides fleet management, remote supervision, task orchestration, and continuous learning capabilities. Arc enables one operator to oversee multiple humanoids and integrates with existing enterprise systems for seamless deployment.

Agility has demonstrated strong real-world performance, with robots operating safely in live facilities for extended periods. The company recently announced commercial agreements with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Mercado Libre, marking significant steps toward scaled deployment. Agility emphasizes safety-first design, practical economics, and a clear path to profitability for customers. Its robots are built to handle the unstructured, dynamic nature of warehouses and factories, where traditional automation often falls short. The company continues to iterate rapidly, expanding capabilities in manipulation, endurance, and human-robot collaboration while maintaining U.S.-based manufacturing. Agility Robotics represents a major step toward practical humanoid automation in industrial settings.
