- Digit robots are working at nine industrial customers.
- Digit 5 must turn planned demand into successful deployments.

## Summary

Agility Robotics is set to become a publicly traded company through a SPAC merger, raising $465 million from retail investors and private funding. The deal makes it the first public company focused solely on humanoid robots, giving Agility capital to pursue industrial deployments while putting its ability to convert planned demand into revenue under greater scrutiny.

Founded in 2015, Agility has deployed its Digit robots with nine customers, including GXO and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. It reported $174,000 in revenue, mostly from related parties, and a $362 million loss in the first half of 2026; it also cites $300 million in planned contracts from 30 customers for Digit 5. The new model is intended to work safely around people, with prototypes due at CES 2027 and wider availability planned for the end of that year, but the company must still prove its performance and business case.
