Agility Digit Timeline

Agility is pursuing ISO functional safety certification for Digit's human-collaborative operation mode. Certification, targeted for mid-to-late 2026, would allow Digit to legally work in shared spaces alongside human staff without fixed physical barriers — a significant operational step that most humanoid robots cannot yet claim. This is one of the clearest signs that Digit is being developed as a production tool, not a research platform.

Agility confirms Digit v5 is in development for 2026 release. Key improvements include payload capacity up to 50 lbs (23 kg) — a significant increase over v4 — along with improved battery life and upgraded arm dexterity for handling a wider range of package types and sizes. The v5 spec expansion responds directly to feedback from Amazon and GXO deployments that certain heavier packages were outside Digit v4's useful range.

Agility Robotics expands Digit deployments at existing warehouse partners, with new pilot programmes launching at additional logistics facilities. Focus is on refining per-task reliability metrics and extending the range of package types Digit can handle without operator intervention.

Agility Robotics publishes data showing increased Digit production capacity at the RoboFab facility in Oregon. The humanoid robot factory continues to scale manufacturing to meet growing commercial demand.

Agility Robotics publishes a milestone: Digit units at GXO's Flowery Branch, Georgia facility have collectively moved over 100,000 totes — a concrete operational data point that distinguishes Digit from competitors still in research or early-pilot stages. The GXO deployment had been running across multiple shifts, demonstrating multi-hour sustained operation rather than controlled demos. Amazon warehouse trials are also running in parallel across multiple fulfilment centres.

Agility Robotics announces that Digit is now commercially available and ready for broader deployment. The company outlines partnerships with logistics operators across North America.

Agility releases a major software update enabling Digit to recognize and handle a wider variety of package shapes, weights, and labeling conventions in warehouse environments.

Agility Robotics shares updates on its RoboFab facility, highlighting manufacturing process improvements and increased Digit production throughput.

Agility Robotics announces commercial partnerships with multiple logistics and fulfillment companies, marking a significant step toward broader market adoption of Digit robots.

Agility publishes performance metrics from ongoing warehouse deployments, demonstrating that Digit can reliably perform repetitive logistics tasks for extended periods.

Agility Robotics officially opens RoboFab, the world's first dedicated humanoid robot manufacturing facility, in Corvallis, Oregon. The facility is designed to produce Digit robots at scale for commercial deployment.

Agility Robotics initiates controlled warehouse deployments with select logistics partners. Digit robots begin performing real-world picking, placing, and material handling tasks.

Agility releases video demonstrations of Digit performing complex picking and placing tasks with improved precision and reliability. The updates showcase progress in manipulation and object recognition.

Agility Robotics completes Series B funding round, securing capital for Digit production scale-up and expanded commercial partnerships in logistics.

Agility releases updated videos showing Digit performing smooth bipedal walking, navigating warehouse layouts, and handling balanced loads without excessive tipping or stumbling.

Agility Robotics and Ford Motor Company announce a partnership to evaluate Digit for logistics applications in Ford manufacturing and assembly facilities.

Agility Robotics initiates beta deployments of Digit at partner warehouses and logistics facilities to gather real-world performance data and refine the platform.

Ford and Agility expand their collaboration, with formal trials of Digit robots in real Ford warehouse environments, testing the robot's capability in actual commercial logistics operations.

Agility Robotics formally introduces Digit, a bipedal humanoid robot purpose-built for logistics. The robot is designed to handle last-mile delivery, warehousing, and material handling tasks, representing a market-focused platform unlike research-oriented competitors.
