Humanoid Robot Maker Agility Robotics Rebrands, Becomes Agility

Insider Brief

  • Agility Robotics said it is rebranding as Agility as the company expands humanoid robot deployments across additional industries and commercial use cases.
  • The company said the change reflects its broader strategy to scale humanoid automation for repetitive industrial work and address labor shortages across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and warehousing.
  • Agility said it remains on track to deliver a cooperatively safe humanoid robot in 2026 as deployments of its Digit robot expand with customers including Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, GXO, Schaeffler and Amazon.

Agility Robotics announced it is rebranding as Agility, a move the company says reflects its push to expand humanoid robotics deployments across a wider range of industries.

The Oregon-based developer of humanoid robots said the name change signals its plans to continue expanding its humanoid platform while targeting additional industries where robots could help address labor shortages and automate repetitive work.

According to the company, the rebrand also reflects a broader strategy to expand into new use cases and services as the market for humanoid automation develops. The company said the updated brand identity was developed through an internal review process that included engineers, founders and operators involved in deploying its robots in real-world environments.

The company said it remains on track to deliver what it describes as the first cooperatively safe humanoid robot in 2026, designed to operate alongside human workers in shared environments.

Agility’s robots are currently deployed in settings such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities and distribution centers, where they work alongside human teams performing material handling and other routine operations.

In February, Agility Robotics announced Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada signed a commercial agreement to deploy its humanoid robot Digit in vehicle assembly plants following a successful pilot. The company said Digit will support manufacturing, supply chain and logistics operations by handling repetitive and physically demanding tasks, joining deployments with companies including GXO, Schaeffler and Amazon.
