Agility Robotics

What Agility Robotics does

Agility Robotics (rebranded to "Agility" in March 2026) is a Salem, Oregon-based robotics company founded in 2015 as a spinout of Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Laboratory. It designs and manufactures Digit, a commercially deployed bipedal humanoid robot approximately six feet tall and 100+ kg with 4-DOF arms, narrow-aisle footprint, and 90+ minute battery life, intended to perform repetitive material-handling tasks in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics facilities. Underlying Digit is a proprietary whole-body control foundation model (Motor Cortex) trained in NVIDIA Isaac Sim/Lab, cooperative safety architecture (Safety PLC, PLd, Category 1 stop, FSoE) that earned Digit the first OSHA-recognized NRTL field approval for a humanoid, and Agility Arc - a cloud-based fleet management platform integrating with Manhattan Active WMS and AMR fleets from MiR and Zebra Technologies. Agility began integrating NVIDIA Halos for Robotics and IGX Thor onboard compute on Digit v5 to enable cooperatively safe operation outside workcell barriers.

Agility makes money through a mix of one-time Digit hardware sales (approximately $250,000 per unit), Robots-as-a-Service subscription agreements with maintenance managed via Agility Arc, usage-based hourly deployment pricing ($10-$25 per hour, targeting $2-$3), and managed cloud platform services. Its named enterprise customers include Amazon (largest commercial deployment), GXO (multi-year RaaS, 100,000+ totes moved), Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (7 robots under RaaS at its Woodstock, Ontario facility), Schaeffler Group (strategic investor and customer), and Mercado Libre (San Antonio facility with planned Latin American expansion). The company pursues a direct enterprise sales motion augmented by channel partnerships (Manhattan Associates, Tompkins Solutions, Zion Solutions Group, Ricoh) and an early-access Agility Partner Program, with operational presence in Salem, Pittsburgh, Palo Alto, and Corvallis.

As of June 2026, Agility announced a definitive merger agreement with Churchill Capital Corp XI at a $2.5 billion pre-money equity valuation, with $620M+ in gross proceeds (including a $200M Foxconn-led PIPE), which would make it the first US-listed pure-play humanoid robotics company under the ticker AGLT. The company has raised over $640M in cumulative equity across rounds led by Playground Global and DCVC, with Amazon, NVIDIA (NVentures), SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Sony Innovation Fund, TDK Ventures, and others participating. Approximately $10M in 2025 revenue and ~$111M in operating expenses against ~$100M annual cash burn indicate the business is in a pre-profitability investment phase, scaling toward the $300M+ in Digit v5 multi-year pre-orders already secured.

Revenue model

1. Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS): Subscription-based recurring revenue model — customers pay for Digit robot fleets as a service rather than purchasing outright; Agility manages maintenance through Agility Arc cloud platform. First publicly disclosed RaaS agreement with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (Feb 2026); revenue scales with fleet size, deployment duration, and utilization.
2. Direct Hardware Sales of Digit Robots: One-time sale of Digit robots priced at approximately $250,000 per unit for enterprise customers across logistics, manufacturing, and warehouse operations; sold via direct enterprise sales motion with pilot → multi-year contract cadence.
3. Cloud Platform (Agility Arc) Managed Services: Cloud automation platform revenue for fleet deployment, management, and integration with WMS/MES/WES/PLC systems — sold alongside hardware/RaaS deployments; provides remote monitoring, support, and enterprise systems integration.
4. Hourly Deployment / Usage-based Pricing: Hourly deployment cost currently $10–$25 per hour with target of $2–$3 per hour as technology matures — represents usage-based pricing model for industrial customers on top of base hardware/RaaS fees.

Core offering

Agility Robotics designs, manufactures, and deploys Digit, a bipedal humanoid robot that performs repetitive material handling, tote moving, and AMR loading tasks in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics facilities. The company sells Digit primarily through a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) subscription model and operates Agility Arc, a cloud-based automation platform that deploys, monitors, and orchestrates fleets of Digit robots alongside enterprise systems (WMS, MES, WES, PLC) and third-party AMRs.

Product overview

Agility (formerly Agility Robotics) offers a unified platform-plus-product solution for industrial humanoid automation, anchored by two tightly integrated offerings: Digit, the commercially deployed bipedal humanoid robot (Mobile Manipulation Robot) that performs real work in warehouses and manufacturing facilities, and Agility Arc, the cloud-based automation platform that deploys and manages fleets of Digit robots. Digit handles physical manipulation and locomotion (lifting totes, stacking bins, navigating human spaces), while Agility Arc orchestrates workflow integration with AMRs, WMS/MES/WES/PLC enterprise systems, and webhooks. Customers typically consume Digit via a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model managed through Arc. The Digit robot itself integrates NVIDIA simulation (Isaac Sim/Lab), NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor onboard compute, and (forthcoming in V5) NVIDIA Halos/IGX Thor for safety. Cassie's role is historical as the predecessor research platform; Agility's flagship commercial offering combines Digit + Arc as a complete deployment solution.
