Agility's Digit Lands Toyota Canada, Crosses 100,000 Totes at GXO, and Rebrands as Just 'Agility'

The headline: While the rest of the humanoid market is focused on demos, production reveals, and capability ceilings, Agility’s Digit just keeps quietly stacking commercial customers and operating hours. February 2026: Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) signed a multi-year commercial agreement to deploy Digit at its Woodstock, Ontario RAV4 assembly plant — 7+ Digit units now actively supporting material handling. November 2025: Digit crossed the 100,000-tote milestone at GXO Logistics’ Flowery Branch, Georgia facility — the first general-purpose humanoid robot to validate that kind of high-volume, reliable commercial throughput. March 2026: the company rebranded from “Agility Robotics” to just “Agility” to signal expansion beyond robotics into broader industrial humanoid services. None of this gets the headlines that Figure, Tesla, or Atlas command. All of it is real revenue from real customers.

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada — February 2026

On February 19, 2026, Agility announced that Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) had signed a commercial agreement to deploy Digit robots at its facilities, following a successful pilot. From the announcement: TMMC plans to deploy Digit to “support employees with manufacturing, supply chain and logistics operations.”

The deployment specifics:

• 7+ Digit units active at the Woodstock, Ontario assembly plant
• RAV4 production line material handling
• Bridging two automated production lines — Digit unloads totes full of auto parts from an automated warehouse tugger and places them where humans or other automation can pick them up
• Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) commercial model — Toyota doesn’t own the units; they rent operational uptime from Agility

This is significant for two reasons beyond the customer name. First, Toyota is one of the world’s most operationally rigorous manufacturers — the company that invented lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System doesn’t accept automation experiments in production lines that aren’t pulling their weight. The fact that the pilot graduated to a commercial agreement signals real ROI, not a PR pilot. Second, Toyota joins an already-impressive customer roster.

The Agility customer list as of mid-2026:

• GXO Logistics — the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider; first humanoid RaaS deployment
• Schaeffler — the German motion-technology and automotive-supplier conglomerate
• Amazon — material handling deployments at fulfillment centers
• Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada — as of February 2026
• Mercado Libre — Latin America’s largest e-commerce platform

That’s five Fortune 500-tier industrial customers across logistics, automotive, and e-commerce. No other humanoid company comes close.

The 100,000-tote milestone at GXO

In late November 2025, Agility celebrated Digit moving more than 100,000 totes at GXO’s Flowery Branch facility in Georgia. The number sounds modest until you understand what it represents: sustained, repeatable, high-volume work in a live production environment.

From Agility’s own framing: “True industrial validation requires proving a robot’s capacity for high-volume, reliable throughput, effectively establishing a clear, long-term Return on Investment (ROI) and proves that the automation can be scaled successfully across the enterprise.”

The Flowery Branch deployment is run under the industry’s first humanoid Robots-as-a-Service contract, signed by GXO in June 2024. Digit’s job there is straightforward: pick totes from autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and place them onto conveyors. Repetitive, physically demanding, exactly the kind of work that wears out human workers and where a robot that doesn’t get tired pays for itself.

GXO won the 2024 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Top Supply Chain Projects award for that pilot. By November 2025 the deployment had crossed 100,000 totes. By early 2026 it was a permanent fixture of GXO’s automation strategy.

The “first cooperatively safe humanoid” angle

The most under-covered aspect of Digit’s design — and the one that explains why it’s deployable in places where Atlas and Figure can’t yet operate — is cooperative safety. Digit is engineered from the ground up to work alongside humans in shared environments without safety cages.

The technical implementation: Digit’s latest version meets industrial mobile robot safety standards, with safety-rated stopping distances, force-limited movements, and human-detection algorithms that adjust the robot’s behavior in real time as people enter its workspace. The result is that Digit can be deployed in environments where it’s directly next to human workers — a deployment category that’s still legally and operationally challenging for most humanoid platforms.

Agility has called this its “first cooperatively safe humanoid” milestone, targeted for 2026 completion. Per the March 2026 rebrand announcement, the company “remains on track to deliver what it describes as the first cooperatively safe humanoid robot in 2026.”

This is the moat Digit is building. Other humanoid programs are racing to add capability; Digit is racing to be the humanoid you can legally and safely put on a factory floor next to humans, today, with the safety certifications in place to back it up.

The “Agility” rebrand

In March 2026, Agility Robotics announced it was rebranding to just “Agility” — dropping the “Robotics” suffix. The framing, per CEO Peggy Johnson and the company’s communications: the rebrand reflects a broader strategy to expand into new use cases and services as the humanoid automation market matures, including logistics, manufacturing, supply chain — and eventually adjacent industries.

The signal: Agility is positioning itself less as a robotics-hardware company and more as a humanoid-services company that happens to make robots. That’s consistent with the RaaS commercial model — customers pay for operational outcomes, not robots — and consistent with the Agility Arc cloud platform that orchestrates fleets across customer sites.

Agility Arc itself is worth noting: it’s a cloud-based automation platform that doesn’t just manage Digit fleets but also integrates with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from MiR (Mobile Industrial Robots) and Zebra Technologies. At the ProMat trade show in March 2025, Agility demonstrated Digit calling and dispatching MiR/Zebra AMRs to tasks — a level of multi-vendor orchestration that’s rare in industrial automation.

Why Digit is built the way it is

A key design choice that makes Digit different from every other humanoid in the top 5: Digit doesn’t look much like a human.

Digit has reverse-knee “bird legs” optimized for moving heavy bins around warehouse floors. Its face is a single sensor cluster — there’s no anthropomorphic head trying to express emotion. The hands are functional grippers, not five-fingered anthropomorphic hands.

That non-human design is the feature, not a bug. Agility’s bet: warehouse and factory work doesn’t require a robot that looks human. It requires a robot that can do warehouse and factory work efficiently. The bird-leg design is genuinely more efficient at the kind of squat-and-lift-and-turn motions that dominate material handling. The single-sensor face means more compute can go to perception and less to pretending to be a face. The grippers are lighter and more reliable than five-fingered hands.

The result is a humanoid that’s purpose-built for a specific category of work and dominates it. Digit doesn’t try to be everywhere. It tries to be the right tool for warehouse logistics, and it has the operational record to back that up.

The financial position

The other thing worth flagging is Agility’s funding and partnerships. The investor list includes Amazon, NVIDIA, Sony, and TDK — a notably operationally-focused mix compared to the more venture-heavy investor bases at Figure ($39B valuation) and Tesla (public).

The deployments at Amazon are particularly significant in the context of Amazon’s investment. Amazon is using Digit at fulfillment centers while also having a financial stake in Agility’s success — exactly the kind of customer-investor alignment that suggests long-term commitment, not just a test deployment.

NVIDIA’s investment shows up technologically too: Agility uses NVIDIA Isaac Sim for simulation-based training, and the company’s case study with NVIDIA documents how skills trained in Isaac Sim transfer to live warehouse work without significant real-world fine-tuning.

What this all adds up to

Digit ranks fourth in our Top 5 Humanoid Robots of 2026 roundup, behind Figure 03, Tesla Optimus, and Atlas. That ranking is honest about where Digit sits on the capability ceiling — it’s not the most physically capable humanoid, and its purpose-built design means it won’t be useful for some categories of work the others will eventually do.

But if you ranked humanoids by commercial revenue per hour worked, Digit would be #1 by a meaningful margin. It’s the only humanoid in the world that has been continuously generating revenue from real customers for over a year. The 100,000-tote GXO milestone, the Toyota Canada commercial agreement, the Schaeffler and Amazon deployments — these aren’t pilots or prototypes. They’re operational deployments paying recurring revenue.

The other thing worth saying: Digit’s economics are visible in a way that Figure’s and Tesla’s aren’t. You can calculate the unit economics of a warehouse Digit. You can compare cost per tote moved to human labor. You can model ROI. That financial transparency is part of why GXO, Schaeffler, Amazon, and now Toyota are willing to write multi-year contracts. The humanoid most likely to be financially self-sustaining in 2026 isn’t the one with the best AI or the most viral demos. It’s Digit.

Bottom line

The Digit story in 2026 is unglamorous and absolutely real. While other humanoid companies are racing to mass-produce, productize, and demonstrate increasingly impressive capabilities, Agility just keeps quietly executing on commercial deployments. The Toyota Canada deal is the geographic and industry expansion proof point. The 100,000-tote GXO milestone is the volume-reliability proof point. The Agility rebrand is the strategic positioning. The first cooperatively safe humanoid certification, targeted for 2026, is the moat.

If you want to know which humanoid is most likely to still be deployed and generating revenue in 2030, Digit is the safe bet — not because it’s the most advanced, but because it’s already done the operational work that the rest of the industry is still trying to demonstrate.
