Founded 2015, Albany OR. $641M total raised at $2.1B valuation. Deployed in Amazon and GXO warehouses. Private. ## Company Overview Agility Robotics is a humanoid robotics company founded in 2015 as a spin-off from Oregon State University, headquartered in Albany, Oregon. Its flagship product Digit is a 5-foot-9 bipedal humanoid robot with two arms capable of lifting 35 pounds, designed to work alongside humans in warehouse and logistics environments. Led by CEO Peggy Johnson (former Magic Leap CEO and longtime Microsoft executive). Agility competes with Figure AI, Tesla (Optimus), Boston Dynamics, and Apptronik, differentiating through its focus on practical warehouse deployment. Its RoboFab facility in Salem, Oregon is the world's first factory purpose-built for humanoid robot mass production. Revenue comes from hardware sales, leasing, and service contracts. In March 2025, Agility closed a $400 million Series C at approximately $2.12 billion valuation, bringing total funding to $641 million. Approximately 100 Digit units have been deployed, including pilots with Amazon warehouses and a multi-year agreement with GXO Logistics. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the Digit robot? Digit is Agility Robotics' flagship bipedal humanoid robot, 5-foot-9 with two arms capable of lifting 35 pounds, designed for warehouse and logistics work alongside humans. ### How much funding has Agility Robotics raised? $641 million total, including a $400M Series C in March 2025 at approximately $2.12 billion valuation. ### Where are Digit robots deployed? Amazon warehouses and GXO Logistics facilities, with approximately 100 units deployed in pilot and production settings. ### Who leads Agility Robotics? CEO Peggy Johnson, who joined in 2024 after leading Magic Leap and spending years as a Microsoft executive. ### What is RoboFab? The world's first factory purpose-built for mass production of humanoid robots, located in Salem, Oregon. ### What is Agility Robotics' RoboFab facility and how does it advance humanoid manufacturing? RoboFab is Agility Robotics' purpose-built humanoid robot manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon — designed to produce up to 10,000 Digit units per year at scale, making it the world's first factory specifically designed for humanoid robot mass production. Unlike aerospace-style low-volume assembly that characterizes most current robotics manufacturing, RoboFab is designed for high-volume production with standardized assembly processes and quality control systems that can scale with demand. The facility opened in 2024 and represents Agility's belief that the economics of humanoid robotics will only work at manufacturing volume rather than bespoke production. ### How does Digit compare to Tesla Optimus, Figure 02, and Boston Dynamics Atlas in commercial readiness? Digit is currently the most commercially deployed humanoid robot, with active deployments at Amazon fulfillment centers in real warehouse workflows — performing trailer unloading tasks alongside human workers. Tesla Optimus is still in internal testing at Tesla factories with no third-party commercial deployments. Figure 02 has demonstrated impressive manipulation capabilities but has limited commercial deployments announced beyond BMW. Boston Dynamics Atlas is a research platform not sold commercially. Agility's Amazon partnership provides real-world validation data and scale manufacturing demand that competitors developing in lab conditions cannot match. ### What is Agility Robotics' funding status and who are its investors? Agility Robotics closed a $400 million Series C in March 2025 led by DCVC with participation from Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, Playground Global, and Lux Capital, bringing total funding to over $500 million. Amazon's strategic investment aligns with its role as the launch customer for Digit in fulfillment center deployment, creating a capital and commercial partnership that accelerates both manufacturing scale and real-world learning. CEO Peggy Johnson (former Magic Leap CEO and longtime Microsoft executive) joined in 2023 to lead the company through its commercial scaling phase from research origins. ## Tags automation, hardware, manufacturing, b2b, iot --- *Data from geo.sig.ai Brand Intelligence Database.
