Agility Robotics is establishing a new training center for its Digit humanoid robots in Fremont, California, positioning itself in a major tech manufacturing hub.
The Oregon-based robotics company selected Fremont for its latest facility, home to Tesla's primary U.S. manufacturing operations and a growing cluster of robotics and automation companies.
Digit, Agility's bipedal robot, is designed for warehouse automation and logistics tasks. The training center will prepare the machines for real-world deployment while serving as a showcase for potential customers and partners.
The move reflects broader industry momentum toward humanoid robots for industrial applications. Companies including Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and others are racing to commercialize bipedal systems capable of handling complex warehouse operations.
Fremont's selection underscores the region's appeal for robotics developers seeking proximity to manufacturing expertise and venture capital. Agility has secured significant funding, including investments from Prime Ventures and others, supporting its expansion efforts.
The facility's capacity and timeline remain undisclosed. Agility continues ramping production and customer deployments of Digit across North American logistics networks.
