GXO is expanding Digit humanoid robots to two more U.S. sites

What is changing?

GXO Logistics and Agility Robotics are expanding their Digit warehouse-automation program to two additional U.S. facilities. According to the companies’ October 26 announcement, the robots will support e-commerce fulfillment at sites in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee.

Deployments are expected to begin in early 2027 with Digit 4 and migrate to Digit 5 when the next-generation robot becomes commercially available. The robots will take on highly repetitive material-handling work such as moving totes; both the schedule and migration remain forward-looking company plans.

The partnership began with a proof-of-concept at GXO’s Flowery Branch, Georgia, site in late 2023 and became a multi-year Robots-as-a-Service agreement in 2024. The companies say Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes at that facility.

Agility Robotics also reports that Digit has accumulated more than 65,000 hours of real-world operation across its commercial operations and customer programs. The company says this field experience informed Digit 5, but site-level productivity, failure-rate and return-on-investment results for the two new deployments have not yet been disclosed.
