Agility’s Digit Passes 100,000 Tote Moves - A Major Milestone for Humanoid Robotics

Humanoid robots aren’t just prototypes anymore, they’re officially part of the workforce.

Agility Robotics has announced a breakthrough milestone: its Digit robot has successfully moved more than 100,000 totes in live, day-to-day operations at a GXO Logistics facility. This isn’t a lab test. This is real production work in one of the world’s largest logistics environments.

And it marks one of the clearest signals yet that humanoid robots are becoming practical, reliable, and economically valuable in modern warehouses.

A Real-World Proving Ground

At GXO, Digit has been deployed on repetitive, physically demanding tasks, exactly the type of work that slows down human teams and creates high turnover. Digit’s job:
pick up totes, carry them across the warehouse floor, and place them for further processing.

Simple on paper. Extremely difficult for robots.

Yet Digit has now crossed the 100,000-tote threshold, demonstrating:

• High reliability over long operational cycles

• Consistent performance, even in dynamic warehouse environments

• True plug-and-play utility alongside human workers

• Low downtime and high repeatability

This is not a “demo milestone.” It's a real logistics KPI achieved in production.

Why This Matters

For years, humanoid robots were considered futuristic…exciting, but not necessarily viable.

Digit crossing the 100k mark proves otherwise:

Humanoids are now performing real industrial work at scale.

This milestone highlights three massive shifts in the industry:

1. Warehouses Are Ready for Humanoids

Facilities like GXO are increasingly optimized for automation. Digit slots in with minimal infrastructure changes—no new shelving, no rails, no cages.

2. The Economics Make Sense

Tote moving is one of the most repetitive, and expensive, tasks in logistics. Offloading it to a robot that works reliably for thousands of cycles dramatically reduces labor strain and cost per unit.

3. This Is Only the Beginning

If Digit can handle 100,000 totes, it can handle the next 500,000…and the next million. As Agility scales production, this type of deployment will become standard.

The Humanoid Future Is Arriving Faster Than Expected

From BMW’s factory robots to Amazon-style fulfillment automation, the humanoid robotics wave is accelerating. Agility’s new milestone puts Digit at the front of the pack, proving that humanoids aren’t just capable, they’re deliverable.

For GXO, the result is clear: higher throughput, lower labor strain, and a warehouse that runs smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

For the rest of the industry, it’s a wake-up call: humanoids are ready for real work.

And HouseBots will be here to cover every breakthrough as this new era unfolds.
