Agility Robotics develops and manufactures Digit, a bipedal humanoid robot designed for real-world industrial work. Since its founding in 2015 as a spin-off from Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Lab, the company has progressed from research to commercial deployment, with robots now operating in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centres for customers including Amazon, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, GXO, Schaeffler, and Mercado Libre.
The company operates RoboFab, a full-scale manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon, with an annual production capacity of 10,000 robots. Agility Robotics combines expertise in bipedal robot design, artificial intelligence development, and robotics engineering. The company works with NVIDIA on simulation training and Google DeepMind on AI capabilities, reflecting its technical focus on making humanoid robots practical for industrial environments where human-like flexibility and adaptation are valuable.
Agility Robotics employs over 200 people across offices in Salem, Pittsburgh, and Fremont, California. The company positions itself as addressing labour challenges in physically demanding industries through automation technology that works alongside human workers rather than replacing human workforces entirely.
