Digit humanoid robots to expand to additional GXO sites in 2027, building on industry-first Robots-as-a-Service agreement

GREENWICH, Conn. and Salem, Ore., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:GXO), the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, and Agility Robotics, a leading humanoid robotics and physical AI company, today announced an expansion of their pioneering partnership to advance humanoid automation in logistics with deployments of Agility’s Digit humanoid robot to GXO sites in North Carolina and Tennessee.

The announcement builds on the companies’ industry-first, multi-year agreement in 2024 to deploy Agility Robotics’ Digit® humanoid robot in a live GXO warehouse environment in Flowery Branch, Georgia. The agreement was the industry’s first formal commercial deployment of humanoid robots in live operations and the first Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) agreement for humanoid robots. Since then, Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes at the Flowery Branch facility, demonstrating its ability to perform repetitive material-handling tasks reliably in an active logistics environment.
