Agility Robotics and logistics firm GXO announced on Monday that they are extending their partnership to put the Digit humanoid robot to work at new US sites, The Robot Report reports.

Digit is to handle online order picking at GXO sites in Statesville (Tennessee) and Lebanon (Indiana). The companies plan to deploy Digit 4 there from early 2027.
GXO plans to move to Digit 5, the next model, as soon as it goes on sale.
The first deployment dates back to late 2023, at a site in Flowery Branch, Georgia. The companies say it was the first commercial deployment of humanoids in real operating conditions, and the first contract to lease humanoid robots billed as a service.
At that site, Digit has since moved more than 100,000 totes, according to The Robot Report. It works alongside existing automation and places the totes on conveyors.
