🤖Agility Goes Public Via SPAC, Raising $465 Million for Digit Robots

Warehouse robots just got a lot more funded

Agility is going public through a reverse merger with a SPAC, and it's bringing $465 million in fresh capital. The catch? It lost $362 million in the first six months of 2026 while its robots earned just $174,000, mostly from related parties. If you're building anything that touches warehouse automation or physical AI, this one matters. Agility's Digit 5 is its next-gen robot, built to work safely around humans, and it's already got $300 million in planned contracts from 30 customers. Digit 5 gets its public debut at CES 2027. The pitch is simple: a robot-as-a-service model that saves a company about $100,000 a year. The numbers that matter: Digit robots are already moving heavy totes, including over 100,000 at a GXO logistics facility. They pick up loads and place them with 98% accuracy, backed by 65,000 hours of real operational data across nine industrial customers. Prospects have to spend $500,000 on an on-site proof of concept before deployment scales. The production facility can build 10,000 robots a year, so capacity isn't the bottleneck. Demand is. The real question is how fast Agility can land new customers for Digit 5 and how fast it can improve the robot. The SPAC money covers current needs but won't make the company self-sustaining. Spoiler: that's the part to watch.
