Digit Alpha
Agility RoboticsDigit Alpha is a humanoid robot developed by Agility Robotics (founded 2015, Salem OR) and is claimed to be the first humanoid robot in commercial production deployment, performing repetitive industrial tasks such as tote loading/unloading in warehouse and manufacturing environments. It has been deployed at GXO Logistics (Flowery Branch, GA), Amazon, Schaeffler Group, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, and Mercado Libre under a Robot-as-a-Service billing model. The robot currently operates within safety cages/work cells per federal regulations, with a safety-certified cooperative version planned for late 2026. Multiple independent academic research groups have validated Digit's locomotion and manipulation capabilities through sim-to-real transfer, though the robot's real-world task autonomy is constrained by current safety enclosure requirements. Several extracted facts (28 Nm wheelbase, DJ mixer hardware) are clearly from unrelated products and have been excluded from this synthesis.

Evidence-graded claims from the Agility Robotics deep report
Digit is a fully autonomous humanoid robot that performs warehouse tasks without humans doing the work themselves.
Independent research confirms successful sim-to-real policy transfer on Digit hardware, and confirmed deployments at Amazon, GXO, Toyota, and Mercado Libre involve Digit autonomously handling totes/bins — not humans performing those tasks.

RoboFab in Salem, OR can manufacture up to 10,000 robots per year at peak capacity.
The 10,000 robots/year peak capacity figure originates from Agility's own marketing materials for the 70,000 sq ft facility; no independent production audit or third-party verification of this throughput claim has been publicly confirmed.
from Agility Robotics deep report →Digit's operational cost benchmarks at $30/hour, making it cost-competitive with human warehouse labor.
The $30/hour figure is a CEO-stated pricing benchmark set against fully-loaded human labor cost, not a verified internal operational cost — analyst estimates of actual cost-to-operate range $10–$25/hour, and neither figure has been independently audited.
from Agility Robotics deep report →
Agility Robotics is targeting a sub-2-year ROI for customers adopting Digit under its RaaS model.
The under-2-year ROI target is a vendor-stated figure with no independently verified customer case studies, published financial analyses, or third-party ROI audits to substantiate it.
from Agility Robotics deep report →Digit has been deployed at China Post and SF Express, with 300% quarter-over-quarter growth in Q2 2026.
These claims appear in a single lower-confidence source and are not corroborated by any independent reporting, while confirmed deployments are limited to Amazon, GXO, Toyota, and Mercado Libre.
