Agility Robotics
Agility Robotics is a U.S. robotics manufacturer known for developing the Digit humanoid robot, which is used in logistics and warehouse environments. The company's CEO is Jonathan Hurst.
In September 2026, Agility Robotics released footage highlighting the safety systems of its Digit 5 robot. That same month, CEO Jonathan Hurst confirmed that the company is exploring various form factors, including wheeled robot designs, to suit different operating environments and customer requirements. This follows the appearance of a wheeled robot concept in a Digit 5 promotional video. The company stated that this is an early design exploration, with no prototype or launch timeline disclosed.
These developments occur as Agility Robotics prepares to go public through a SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp. XI. The transaction values the company at $2.5 billion and is expected to generate more than $620 million in gross proceeds. Additionally, in September 2026, Agility Robotics announced upgrades to the Digit 5, including new legs, batteries, and safety systems.
