Agility is the exception to a humanoid industry that mostly runs on demo reels. Digit is genuinely deployed and earning revenue, moving totes and bins for logistics customers including GXO, Schaeffler, Toyota, and Mercado Libre. Where rivals show sizzle videos, Agility can point to robots clocking real hours in real facilities.
That comes from a deliberate warehouse-first strategy. Digit was engineered for one workload — repetitive material handling — with bird-like legs and a safety-first design meant to work near people, orchestrated through Agility Arc, the company's cloud fleet platform. It is narrow by choice, and that focus is exactly why it works commercially before anyone else.
Agility also owns its manufacturing. RoboFab in Salem, Oregon — the first full-scale humanoid factory — is built to produce up to 10,000 units a year, with much of Digit's supply chain sourced domestically. The company spun out of Oregon State University in 2015 on the back of its Cassie bipedal research, so the walking is a decade in the making.
On business maturity it is arguably the front-runner: backed by Amazon, NVIDIA, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Foxconn, DCVC, and Playground Global, sitting on $300M+ in multi-year Digit orders, and moving to public markets via a Churchill Capital SPAC at roughly a $2.5B valuation under the ticker AGLT.
The catch for a household buyer is simple: Digit is an industrial robot, not a home helper, and it is leased to enterprises rather than sold to consumers. If you want a humanoid for chores, Agility is not your brand today. Watch it instead as the clearest proof that humanoids can already do paid work.
