Agility Robotics Digit

The humanoid with the longest real deployment record: Digit moves totes in live warehouses and is sold as a service rather than a machine.

Not soldCommercially deployed
Height
≈1.75 m
Weight
≈65 kg
Payload
≈16 kg
Runtime
≈4 hours

Availability

In paid production use with Schaeffler, GXO, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Mercado Libre, with over 65,000 logged operating hours and more than $300m of contracted Digit v5 orders. Sold through Agility's enterprise sales as a service contract covering the robot, software and support.

Pricing and availability verified July 31, 2026. Robot pricing moves faster than the hardware does — confirm on the manufacturer's own page before ordering.

Agility does not publish a rate card. Reported figures vary widely — roughly $2,000-$8,500 per month on RaaS, or around $150,000-$250,000 to buy outright — so treat any single number as an estimate and get a quote.

Strengths and limitations

What works

  • The longest track record of paid, in-production humanoid work
  • Backward-bending legs are efficient and well suited to lifting totes
  • Agility's Arc platform handles fleet management and warehouse integration
  • Purpose-built for one job rather than promising everything

What does not

  • Deliberately narrow: tote handling, not general-purpose work
  • No purchase option and no published rate card
  • Sensor head instead of a humanlike face limits some interactions
  • 16 kg payload is modest for heavier logistics work

  1. Agility Robotics goes public via a $2.5B SPAC merger

    Agility agreed to merge with Churchill Capital Corp XI at a $2.5bn pre-money equity value, raising over $620m gross including a roughly $200m PIPE led by Foxconn.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an Agility Digit cost?

Agility has never published a rate card. Reported figures range from about $2,000 to $8,500 per month on a robots-as-a-service contract, or roughly $150,000-$250,000 to buy outright. Every deployment is quoted individually, so treat those as a range rather than a price.

What does Digit actually do today?

Moves totes between conveyors, shelving and carts in live warehouses. It is deliberately narrow, and that focus is why it reached production use before more general humanoids.
