Agility Signs with AGCO to Pilot Digit in the US in 2027
6 reports · 6 sources
Agility Robotics has signed a commercial agreement with agricultural machinery manufacturer AGCO, planning to launch a pilot of the Digit humanoid robot in 2027 at AGCO's production site in Hesston, Kansas, USA. Agility says Digit will initially handle tasks such as parts sorting and stacking and intelligent bin placement; paired with its cloud-based robot fleet management platform Agility Arc, companies can introduce automation without large-scale infrastructure changes or expensive factory upgrades. Subsequent reports say Digit will not initially handle complex assembly, nor directly operate agricultural machinery, but will only perform repetitive tasks such as parts classification, stacking and organizing, and tote handling. The two sides did not disclose the number of units to be deployed, the amount of the deal, or the scale of the pilot, saying only that they will evaluate the humanoid robot's adaptability and commercial value in a manufacturing environment through actual operation.
