GXO Logistics and Agility Robotics announced an expansion of their partnership to deploy Digit humanoid robots at GXO sites in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee, to handle highly repetitive material-handling tasks in e-commerce fulfillment. The two companies said the deployment is expected to begin in early 2027, starting with Digit 4 and migrating once Digit 5 is commercially available. GXO did not disclose the investment amount for this deployment, nor did it say when or whether it expects a return; GXO said humanoid robots have not yet achieved return on investment. Some reports wrote the new sites as North Carolina and Indiana, which does not match the North Carolina and Texas stated in the two companies' announcement; the sites listed in the original statement are Statesville and Lebanon.
