Agility Robotics: Pioneering Human-Centric Automation

Agility Robotics, founded in 2015 as a spin-off from Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Lab, is a US-based robotics innovator headquartered in Salem, Oregon. The company emerged from academic roots to become a leader in legged humanoid robotics, aiming to "enable humans to be more human" by building robots that aid - not replace - people in physical work environments. Its early product, Cassie, was a research-grade bipedal robot without arms, notable for setting a Guinness World Record for distance walked by a bipedal robot.

Digit: The Humanoid Robot Revolutionizing Logistics

The flagship offering from Agility Robotics is Digit, a full-size Mobile Manipulation Robot (MMR) that mirrors human form with legs, arms, and sophisticated perception systems. Standing at 5'9", Digit is engineered to navigate existing facilities - stairs, ramps, aisles - handling totes and cases without requiring costly workspace modifications. Equipped with unique "backward" legs for added maneuverability and a payload capacity of up to 35 lbs, Digit excels in logistics and distribution tasks. It integrates seamlessly into workflows and can be deployed via flexible models like Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) or traditional CapEx purchases. The company also offers Agility Arc, a cloud-based automation platform that simplifies fleet deployment, task orchestration, and operations monitoring for Digit robots.

Scaling Humanoid Robotics for Real-World Impact

Agility Robotics is breaking new ground with RoboFab, the world's first factory dedicated to mass-producing humanoid robots. Located in Salem, Oregon, this 70,000-square-foot facility aims to scale production from hundreds initially to over 10,000 Digit units annually, creating significant economic and automation impact. Digit is already deployed in commercial environments - including GXO Logistics, Amazon facilities, and Spanx factories - executing repetitive, back-breaking tasks under a subscription-style model. Agility also secured major customers and investors, such as motion-technology leader Schaeffler, which plans to roll out Digit robots across its global plants.
