Agility Robotics
Agility Robotics builds Digit, a bipedal humanoid robot for moving totes and other material in warehouses and factories. It rents Digit to customers such as GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada under Robots-as-a-Service deals and builds it at its RoboFab factory in Salem, Oregon. The company was spun out of Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Laboratory (its earlier Cassie robot had legs only, no upper body). It listed on Nasdaq as AGLT on 5 November 2026 through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI.
