GXO Logistics and Agility Robotics are set to expand their deployment of Digit humanoid robots to two additional warehouses in North Carolina and Tennessee in early 2027. This expansion follows their existing operation in Georgia, where Digit has successfully handled over 100,000 totes and logged more than 65,000 operational hours across various programs.
The significance of this deployment lies in its potential to enhance e-commerce fulfillment processes at GXO's facilities, showcasing the growing role of humanoid robotics in warehouse automation. The partnership, which began with a proof-of-concept pilot in late 2023, reflects a commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for operational efficiency and improved working conditions.
GXO's ongoing automation efforts, including the integration of Digit into their operations, highlight the company's focus on innovative solutions. The transition from Digit 4 to Digit 5 is anticipated as the newer model becomes available, marking a key milestone in their collaboration with Agility Robotics. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
