Agility Robotics designs and manufactures bipedal humanoid robots for industrial environments. The company's primary product, Digit, is engineered to perform tasks requiring human-like dexterity and adaptability in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. Digit's bipedal form factor addresses a specific operational constraint: navigating spaces designed for human workers, climbing stairs, and handling objects in cluttered environments where wheeled platforms encounter geometric or reach limitations.
The company operates RoboFab, a full-scale manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon, with peak capacity of 10,000 units annually. This production infrastructure reflects a transition from prototype development to factory-level output. Agility Robotics has deployed Digit commercially with customers including Amazon, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, GXO, Schaeffler, and Mercado Libre - deployments that serve as field validation for the bipedal approach in repetitive material handling and logistics work.
Technical development incorporates simulation training partnerships with NVIDIA and AI research collaboration with Google DeepMind, indicating investment in learning-based control and synthetic data generation to address the well-known challenges of bipedal locomotion in variable terrain and grasping in unstructured environments. The company originated from Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Lab, maintaining research-engineering continuity while scaling toward production. With over 200 employees and offices in Salem, Pittsburgh, and Fremont, California, Agility Robotics operates at the intersection of robotics hardware design, control systems, manufacturing operations, and AI - each a distinct problem domain requiring specialized expertise.
