Agility Robotics

Agility Robotics is an American humanoid-robotics company founded in 2015 as a spinoff from Oregon State University, headquartered in Salem, Oregon. Its flagship robot, Digit, is a human-sized bipedal robot built for warehouse and factory work — moving totes, unloading trailers, and handling the repetitive material-handling tasks that cause a large share of workplace injuries.

Agility has pushed further toward real commercial deployment than most of its peers. In 2024 it signed a multi-year agreement with the logistics company GXO — the industry's first formal commercial deployment of a humanoid robot, and the first offered as Robots-as-a-Service, where customers pay for robot uptime rather than buying the hardware outright. To meet that demand, Agility opened RoboFab in Salem, described as the world's first factory purpose-built to mass-produce humanoid robots, with a nameplate capacity above ten thousand units per year.

The company is led by CEO Peggy Johnson, previously chief executive of Magic Leap and a longtime Microsoft executive. After raising about $400 million in 2025, Agility announced in June 2026 that it would go public by merging with a special-purpose acquisition company led by the financier Michael Klein, with more than $620 million in expected proceeds and a planned Nasdaq listing under the ticker AGLT. Johnson has been pointedly realistic about timelines, placing a capable in-home humanoid more than a decade away and keeping Agility focused on the industrial work it can deliver today.
