Agility Robotics and Churchill Capital Corp XI have announced an expected gross capital raise of approximately $465 million in connection with their business combination, set to close on November 4, 2026, pending shareholder approval. This merger will position Agility as the only publicly listed pure-play humanoid robotics company in the U.S. with active commercial deployments.
The significance of this capital raise lies in Agility's ability to fund its commercial expansion and meet increasing customer demand for humanoid robots. Recent developments include an expanded partnership with GXO for deploying Digit at additional facilities and a manufacturing pilot agreement with AGCO expected to commence in 2027. Agility's active pipeline features over 30 prospective customers across various sectors, indicating robust demand for automation solutions.
Agility Robotics is on track to begin deliveries of its Digit 5 robot to early-access customers in the first half of 2027, with general availability anticipated by the end of 2027. The company has disclosed more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for Digit 5, reflecting strong market interest and potential future revenue.
