Story
Digit was the first humanoid robot people paid money to use. While other companies were building anthropomorphic showcases, Agility built a logistics robot that happened to be bipedal — bird-like reverse-knee legs, no face, no fingers, just grippers. It was a design accountable to a customer, not a press release.
The bet paid off. GXO Logistics contracted Digit fleets in 2024. Amazon ran pilots. Schaeffler signed on. Agility Robotics now says Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada signed a Robots-as-a-Service commercial agreement after a successful pilot and plans to deploy Digit in its facilities for manufacturing, supply-chain, and logistics support. Global News separately reported a Woodstock deployment, but HumanoidRoster keeps specific unit counts out of confirmed facts until a primary source supports them. Agility opened RoboFab in Salem, Oregon — the first U.S. factory built to produce humanoids at scale — before any of its competitors had a real production plan. By November 2025, Agility was citing more than 100,000 totes moved in commercial deployment. In December 2025, Agility also announced a Mercado Libre commercial agreement beginning in Texas, with possible later Latin America expansion. HumanoidRoster treats that as a named-customer signal, not as evidence for unit count, throughput, autonomy rate, uptime, or full regional rollout.
The Reality Score for Digit rewards what Digit lacks: spectacle. There is no parkour video, no kitchen demo, no general-intelligence claim. There is a robot, in a warehouse, moving totes. That is what the score is meant to reward.
Agility's own public framing now reinforces that caution. In a May 2026 article on the pathway to home robots, the company argued that home humanoids are still constrained by capability, cost, and safety, and that Agility will move toward home use only when it can do so responsibly. For Digit, that is not a new commercial milestone; it is support for the industrial-first interpretation already reflected here.
Reality check
Digit is the most commercially-deployed humanoid in the world. The form factor — bird-like legs, no face, no fingers, just grippers — is the most honest about what the technology can do today. Agility Robotics has now primary-confirmed Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada as a Robots-as-a-Service commercial agreement after a successful pilot and announced a Mercado Libre commercial agreement beginning in Texas, strengthening Digit's named-customer evidence without adding unverified unit counts or operating metrics.
- Manufacturer-published specs — 35 lb payload, 4-hour battery
- GXO Logistics, Amazon, and Schaeffler are confirmed customers (named on Agility's product page)
- Agility Robotics says Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada signed a Robots-as-a-Service commercial agreement after a successful pilot and plans to deploy Digit in its facilities to support manufacturing, supply-chain, and logistics operations
- Agility Robotics says Mercado Libre signed a commercial agreement to deploy Digit, beginning in Texas with future expansion capability for Latin America
- Agility's RoboFab in Salem, OR is the first U.S. purpose-built humanoid factory
- Agility published a "100,000 totes moved in commercial deployment" milestone in November 2025
- Earlier coverage cited "16-hour" continuous operation; Agility's current spec is a 4-hour battery with hot-swap supporting shift-long deployment
- Agility's May 2026 home-humanoid article says near-term home use remains constrained by humanoid capability, cost, and safety; this supports Digit's industrial-first framing rather than a new deployment, spec, or score change
