Digit humanoid robots for warehouse tote handling
GXO reported that Digit humanoid robots moved more than 100,000 totes at its Georgia warehouse
Problem
Warehouse operations required repetitive tote movements between existing automation and conveyors.
Approach
GXO began a proof-of-concept pilot with Agility Robotics in late 2023 at Flowery Branch, Georgia. A commercial agreement followed in June 2024, covering Digit robots and the Agility Arc fleet-management platform. Digit moved totes onto conveyors alongside existing automation.
Results
Takeaway
The reported throughput came from one operating warehouse. Deployments announced for North Carolina and Tennessee were expected to begin in 2027.
