Agility Robotics’ common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on Nov. 5, under the symbols AGLT and AGLTW, after the company completed its business combination with Churchill Capital Corp XI. Agility said it became the first U.S. publicly listed pure-play humanoid robotics company with proven, active commercial deployments. The combination and related financings raised approximately $465 million in gross capital before transaction expenses.

“AI is moving beyond the digital world and into the physical world, creating new possibilities for how people and machines work together. At Agility, that future is already taking shape. Digit is doing real work in customer operations today, taking on repetitive, physically demanding tasks. Becoming a public company gives us access to more resources to help accelerate that progress, bring intelligent robots to more workplaces and help build a future where people and robots accomplish more together.”

Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility Robotics

Digit’s commercial work backs the listing

Agility enters public markets with nearly three years of real-world deployment experience and more than 65,000 hours of operation. Its Digit humanoid robot is operating with global enterprises including GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. In Georgia, Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes at a GXO facility. Agility recently expanded that partnership to deploy Digit at two additional U.S. logistics facilities in early 2027.

AGCO has signed a commercial agreement for a Digit pilot expected to begin in 2027. Three other enterprise manufacturing customers are participating in paid programs focused on specific applications: a major global automaker, one of the world’s largest automotive technology and components developers, and a leading global consumer products manufacturer. Its active pipeline includes more than 30 prospective customers across automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, logistics, consumer products and defense, Agility says.

More than $300 million in committed multi-year Digit 5 orders, subject to conditions

Agility has more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for Digit 5, subject to contractual milestones, product features and specifications. The company unveiled the next-generation platform in September 2026, drawing on years of customer experience. Digit 5 is designed for cooperatively safe work and a broader range of industrial tasks. Early customer access is expected in the first half of 2027, with general availability targeted for the end of that year.

The platform includes proprietary cycloidal actuator technology engineered to support repetitive lifting of up to 50 pounds, along with interchangeable end effectors and expanded manipulation capabilities. Agility plans to standardize Digit 5’s onboard compute on NVIDIA IGX Thor and expand its integration of NVIDIA Halos safety technology. Its FORT Robotics partnership supports development of safety systems for industrial environments. Nyobolt’s ultra-fast charging battery technology is designed to recharge Digit 5 in nine minutes and provide more than 20 hours of productive work in a 24-hour day.

Agility has invested in U.S. production and support capacity

Agility’s RoboFab manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon, covers 70,000 square feet and is designed for annual production capacity of up to 10,000 robots. The company also has a Fremont, California, facility focused on hardware and physical AI development. A recently announced 50,000-square-foot expansion in Pittsburgh is intended to strengthen software, AI, deployment and customer support capabilities. Agility Arc, its cloud-based platform, manages robot fleets and integrates them into customer operations.

The approximately $465 million in gross capital includes proceeds from a private investment in public equity led by Foxconn and $100 million of equity funding received before closing. Agility intends to use the proceeds to fulfill customer orders, expand commercial deployments, scale Digit production and continue developing its robotics and physical AI platform. The company cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and says actual events and circumstances may differ materially from the assumptions behind them.
