Agility Expands Humanoid Robot Deployments Across Manufacturing

Agility Robotics has rebranded to simply “Agility” as the company expands its humanoid robot deployments across manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing sectors. The company’s Digit robot is now operating with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, GXO, Schaeffler, and Amazon.

Agility’s Digit robot performs material handling alongside human workers.

Current Deployments

Digit performs material handling and repetitive physical tasks alongside human workers. The robots are already in production environments at Toyota, GXO, and Schaeffler facilities, representing a shift from pilot programs to real-world deployment.

What’s Next

Agility says it remains on track to deliver the first “cooperatively safe” humanoid robot in 2026 ” — designed to operate in shared environments with humans without requiring isolation or safety cages.

What This Means for Workers

The rebrand reflects a strategy to expand beyond warehouses into broader industrial use. For workers in manufacturing and logistics:

• Physical automation is accelerating ” — humanoid robots are no longer experimental
• New roles emerging ” — robot supervision, exception handling, maintenance
• Transition timeline shortening ” — deployments are happening now, not in 5-10 years

The jobs most affected: repetitive material handling, box moving, and simple assembly tasks. Workers should consider upskilling toward robot management roles.
