Overview
Built from the Oregon State/Agility Cassie lineage, Digit went on sale to enterprise and research buyers in 2020 and became the first humanoid in a formal paid commercial deployment (GXO, 2024), with customers since including Toyota, Amazon and Mercado Libre. It is designed around one job done reliably, moving totes in warehouses. Agility unveiled Digit 5 on September 15, 2026 (1.81 m, 129 kg, 22.7 kg payload, 90-minute battery with 9-minute charging), citing more than $300 million in multi-year orders. The company announced plans in June 2026 to go public through a SPAC merger.
