Humanoid robot deployment expands to two more GXO warehouses

GXO Logistics is expanding its partnership with Agility Robotics to deploy humanoid robots at two additional US warehouses, following test operations in Georgia.

Agility’s Digit robots will be introduced at GXO’s facilities in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee, to support e-commerce fulfilment by performing repetitive material-handling tasks.

Deployments are expected to begin in early 2027 using Digit 4 robots, with plans to transition to Digit 5 when it becomes commercially available.

The expansion builds on a partnership that began with proof-of-concept trials at GXO’s Flowery Branch facility in Georgia in 2023. In June 2024, the companies signed a multi-year Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) agreement.
