GXO Logistics will deploy humanoid robots at two additional US warehouses in early 2027, expanding its commercial partnership with Agility Robotics as the companies move towards wider adoption of physical AI in logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agility’s Digit robots will handle repetitive material-moving tasks at GXO facilities in Statesville, North Carolina and Lebanon, Tennessee, supporting e-commerce fulfilment operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansion follows a commercial deployment launched in June 2024 at GXO’s Flowery Branch warehouse in Georgia, where Digit robots have moved more than 100,000 totes alongside existing automation systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new installations will initially use Digit 4 robots before transitioning to Digit 5, Agility’s next-generation humanoid platform, when commercially available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digit has accumulated more than 65,000 operating hours across Agility’s commercial deployments and customer programmes, providing operational data to improve performance and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“GXO was the first customer to put Digit to work in live operations under a commercial agreement, and expanding to additional sites is the clearest signal that the value is real,” said Peggy Johnson, CEO, Agility Robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company is building manufacturing capacity through RoboFab, its 70,000-square-foot Oregon facility, designed to produce up to 10,000 robots annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agility also operates a cloud-based fleet management platform, Agility Arc, supporting robot integration into warehouse workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansion comes as Agility prepares to go public through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deployments will test whether humanoid automation can deliver consistent productivity improvements across multiple commercial warehouse environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
