Story
Digit was the first humanoid robot people paid money to use. While other companies were building anthropomorphic showcases, Agility built a logistics robot that happened to be bipedal — bird-like reverse-knee legs, no face, no fingers, just grippers. It was a design accountable to a customer, not a press release.
The bet paid off. GXO Logistics contracted Digit fleets in 2024. Amazon ran pilots. Schaeffler signed on. Global News reported that Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada would deploy three Digit robots at its Woodstock assembly plant after a successful pilot, making the Toyota item a notable automotive lead but still a Tier B claim until Agility or Toyota publishes primary confirmation. Agility opened RoboFab in Salem, Oregon — the first U.S. factory built to produce humanoids at scale — before any of its competitors had a real production plan. By November 2025, Agility was citing more than 100,000 totes moved in commercial deployment.
The Reality Score for Digit rewards what Digit lacks: spectacle. There is no parkour video, no kitchen demo, no general-intelligence claim. There is a robot, in a warehouse, moving totes. That is what the score is meant to reward.
Reality check
Digit is the most commercially-deployed humanoid in the world. The form factor — bird-like legs, no face, no fingers, just grippers — is the most honest about what the technology can do today. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada is now reported as an additional automotive deployment lead, but the Toyota item remains Tier B until Agility or Toyota publishes primary confirmation.
