GXO and Agility Robotics expand humanoid robot deployment across US warehouses

GXO Logistics and Agility Robotics have announced plans to expand their partnership by deploying humanoid robots at two additional logistics facilities in the United States.

The expansion will bring Agility Robotics’ Digit robots to GXO warehouses in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee. Deployments are expected to begin in early 2027, supporting e-commerce fulfillment and repetitive material-handling tasks.

The announcement, made on October 26, builds on the companies’ existing commercial partnership. Their collaboration has already demonstrated the use of humanoid robots in active warehouse operations.

At GXO’s Flowery Branch facility in Georgia, Digit robots have moved more than 100,000 totes since their initial deployment. The robots work alongside existing warehouse automation, transferring containers and placing them onto conveyor systems.
