GXO and Agility Robotics send Digit humanoids to two more US states
From the Robots digest for Oct 26, 2026
What happened: GXO Logistics and Agility Robotics announced on October 26 an expanded partnership that carries Digit humanoids to additional GXO sites in Statesville, NC, and Lebanon, TN, with deployments expected to begin in early 2027 (Business Insider Markets; Agility Robotics on X). The expansion builds on an existing agreement the companies bill as the industry's first Robots-as-a-Service deployment, with a cumulative figure attached to the original site: more than 100,000 totes moved at Flowery Branch, GA.
What's genuinely new: two named expansion sites (Statesville, NC and Lebanon, TN), a dated start (early 2027), and the first cumulative output figure for Digit's existing GXO deployment — 100,000-plus totes at Flowery Branch, GA.
Watch: whether the early-2027 start holds, unit counts and task scope at the new sites, and how the deployed fleet lines up with Agility's filed projection of roughly 800 Digit v5 units in 2027 as its SPAC close sits dated November 2.
