Agility Robotics has opened a new training and demonstration center for its Digit humanoid robots in Fremont, California, placing operations in the heart of the Silicon Valley robotics ecosystem. The facility will serve as a hub for developing and refining the capabilities of the company’s bipedal robots, designed for logistics and warehouse automation tasks.
The Fremont center will allow Agility to train Digit robots in environments that closely mimic real-world warehouse conditions, accelerating the learning process for tasks such as box moving, shelf stocking, and material handling. The facility also provides a showcase location where potential customers can observe the robots in action.
Agility Robotics has been at the forefront of the humanoid robotics wave, with Digit designed specifically for work in human-centric environments such as warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities. The robot’s humanoid form factor allows it to navigate spaces designed for people, use tools, and perform tasks that would be challenging for traditional industrial robots.
The company has secured partnerships with major logistics providers and continues to expand Digit’s deployment across commercial operations. The opening of the Fremont centre signals Agility’s confidence in the technology’s readiness for broader commercial adoption.
The robotics sector has seen a surge of investment and interest in 2026, driven by advances in AI that have improved robots’ ability to perceive and navigate their environments. Humanoid robots, in particular, have attracted attention as companies seek automation solutions that can operate in existing human-oriented infrastructure without expensive retrofitting.
