Agility Robotics says GXO will put Digit humanoids in two more US warehouses, and adds three unnamed manufacturing customers

Agility Robotics put out a release on Monday 26 October, “Agility Robotics Highlights Commercial Momentum and Growing Enterprise Demand for Digit Humanoid Robot”. Churchill Capital Corp XI, the blank-cheque company merging with Agility, filed it with the SEC.

The release says “GXO announced a new commercial agreement to deploy Digit at two additional U.S. facilities”, in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee. Those deployments start in early 2027 with Digit 4 and later move to Digit 5. Digit already works at a GXO site in Georgia. GXO's own announcement was not found.

Agility also describes three new manufacturing customers in paid programmes without naming them: a global carmaker that sells more than three million vehicles a year, one of the largest developers of car technology and components, and a consumer-products maker. It says it has more than 30 prospective customers, including “two potential subcontractor engagements supporting a branch of the U.S. Armed Services”, and that those talks are at an early stage.

Agility repeats its figure of more than $300m in committed multi-year orders for Digit 5, which it says depends on contract milestones and is not current revenue. On 22 October it said Nvidia will be the only supplier of Digit 5's onboard computer. Churchill XI shareholders vote on the merger on 2 November, as the Switchboard reported on 14 October.
