Agility Robotics

Jonathan Hurst is taking Digit to TechCrunch #Disrupt2026. On Wednesday, October 14, he'll be on stage in San Francisco for a live look at the engineering behind practical humanoid robots — what it takes to build a robot that works alongside people, and where the hard problems actually are. If you'll be at Disrupt, come find us. #Agility #Digit #MadeForWork

Safety isn't a feature you add to a humanoid robot. It's the architecture you build it on. Today we're announcing a strategic partnership with FORT Robotics to extend that architecture beyond Digit itself. Over several years, our work with FORT has grown from a single custom component into a three-part safety system: a safety pendant, on-robot communications, and — new in this partnership — an Offboard Safety Bridge that connects Digit to the safety systems already running in a customer's facility. Why it matters: as humanoid robots take on more work in close proximity to people, safety has to hold whether the signal comes from onboard the robot or from the environment around it. The Offboard Safety Bridge is built for exactly that. This is grounded in real deployment, not a whiteboard. Digit has logged more than 65,000 hours of real-world operation — and everything we learn there shapes what comes next.

Looking forward to working with the Agility team. Exciting times ahead!

I’m delighted to join the board of Agility Robotics and to work with Peggy Johnson and her team at this exciting moment for humanoid robotics!

Safety is one word. That's what makes it easy to underestimate. Doing it for a humanoid robot, a machine that moves through spaces built for people, is one of the hardest problems in the field. In this episode of Agility Foundations: Functional Safety, Kevin R. starts where the real work starts: with how much complexity hides behind a word everyone assumes is simple.

At Agility, rigorous engineering leads to exacting results and the next generation of Digit demands both. We're hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to design the production-ready electronics that power our commercially deployed humanoid robots. The work spans PCB schematic and layout, power electronics, embedded controls, component qualification, and board-level bring-up — in a platform already operating in production facilities. 7+ years of electrical design experience. Deep Altium proficiency required. Hybrid in Fremont, CA. Learn more and apply via the link in the comments. #Agility #MadeForWork #Digit

Yesterday we announced three new directors expected to join Agility Robotics' board of directors following the completion of our previously announced business combination with Churchill Capital Corp XI (NASDAQ: CCXI): Merline Saintil, Derek Aberle, and Pierre Gentin. They bring decades of combined experience across global technology commercialization, strategic partnerships, intellectual property, and corporate governance. They will serve alongside CEO Peggy Johnson and co-founder Damion Shelton as we scale commercial deployments of #Digit, expand our manufacturing capabilities, and advance the adoption of humanoid robotics across industrial environments.

The hardest jobs to automate are also the hardest jobs to fill. There are hundreds of thousands of unfilled manufacturing roles in the U.S. right now, and the gap is widening: a workforce that's retiring, fewer young people stepping into these roles, and reshoring adding demand faster than it can be met. These are the physically punishing, repetitive tasks people have steadily moved away from. That gap is why Digit exists. Not to replace the work people want, but to take on the work they've stepped away from, so the roles that stay hard to fill can still get done. Peggy Johnson made this case well in a conversation with A3's Brian Heater.
