Of all the humanoid robots a UK logistics or manufacturing team might read about, Digit is the one with the most to show for itself. While much of the sector trades on demonstration videos, Agility Robotics has built its story around paid, repeat, operational work. This profile sets out what the robot is and what its maker reports it has achieved, then answers the two questions a British reader actually has: how do you get one, and what will it cost.
Throughout, we attribute capability and deployment claims to Agility Robotics rather than presenting them as independently verified, and we do not state a UK price, because none has been credibly published. That is the honest basis on which this directory profiles any maker.
The robot
What Digit is, and what makes it distinctive
Digit is a human-sized bipedal robot designed by Agility Robotics for one job family: structured handling in logistics and manufacturing. It is not pitched as a household helper or a general-purpose assistant, and that focus is its defining feature. Where several rivals chase a do-everything humanoid, Agility has deliberately narrowed Digit to the task it can be made reliable and economic at: picking up standard totes and bins, moving them, and placing them, over and over, on a warehouse floor.
Its most visible signature is its leg design. Digit uses a reverse-knee, bird-like leg arrangement rather than a strictly human knee, chosen to suit repetitive lifting and carrying in tight warehouse aisles. The result looks less anthropomorphic than some competitors but reflects an engineering choice aimed at the work rather than at the camera. For how that specialised design compares with a more conventionally humanoid, general-purpose rival, our side-by-side guide on Agility Digit versus the Figure robot goes into the trade-offs in depth, and the broader humanoid robot makers overview places Agility among its peers.
The record
What Agility Robotics reports Digit has done
The reason Digit matters to serious buyers is its reported operational record, which is unusually concrete for this sector. The figures below are as stated by Agility Robotics and are presented as the manufacturer's claims.
| Reported measure | What Agility Robotics states |
|---|---|
| Totes moved in production | More than 100,000 totes moved in production work at a GXO Logistics warehouse |
| Operating hours | More than 65,000 operating hours accumulated across customer facilities |
| Named customers | GXO Logistics, Schaeffler, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Mercado Libre among those named |
| Primary task | Picking, carrying and placing standard totes and bins in structured logistics environments |
Set against the rest of the field, that record is what distinguishes Digit from robots still proving themselves in controlled demonstrations. It does not make Digit a general-purpose machine, and it does not mean the robot does anything beyond its narrow handling remit. It means the narrow thing it does has been paid for, repeatedly, by named customers, which in this sector is a meaningful signal. For how that claimed record compares with other platforms on raw handling ability, see our humanoid robot payload comparison.
Access and price
How Digit is accessed, and why there is no simple UK price
Here is where UK expectations need managing. Digit is not a product you add to a basket. Agility Robotics deploys it principally through a service and subscription arrangement aimed at logistics and manufacturing operators, in which the robot is placed, operated and supported under a commercial contract rather than sold outright. That model shapes every practical answer that follows.
Because of it, there is no reliable published UK purchase price for Digit, and we will not invent one. A genuine figure depends on the deployment, the contract term, the task and the support involved, and it comes from Agility Robotics directly. If you encounter a confident specific price for Digit in the UK with no source attached, treat it with caution. The service model also explains why this directory classifies Digit as access-by-engagement rather than open sale, a pattern it shares with the other leading industrial humanoids, as our guide to humanoid robots available in the UK sets out.
For UK operators, the honest practical position is that the fastest way to work with a capable humanoid today is usually hire or a pilot rather than acquisition, a trade-off covered in our hire versus buy guide and, for short-term and event needs, on our sister site Humanoid Robot Hire.
UK verdict
Where Digit fits for a UK operator
Digit is the right robot to be reading about if your need is the proven core of humanoid work: repetitive, well-defined tote and bin handling in a structured warehouse or logistics setting. For that profile, Agility's reported record is the strongest evidence of real-world reliability in the sector. It is the wrong robot to consider if you want a flexible, do-many-things machine or anything resembling a consumer product, and it is not something a UK business can simply buy off a shelf today.
The sensible next step for a serious UK operator is to understand the wider landscape before approaching any maker: our humanoid robot comparison for 2026 frames the field, and for the specific warehouse use case our guide to humanoid robots for warehouse work in the UK covers the operational questions that matter before a pilot. Our independent authority partner site also tracks which deployments have genuinely reached Britain, in its guide to humanoid robots in UK warehouses.
Common questions
Questions readers ask about Agility Digit
What is Agility Robotics Digit?
Digit is a human-sized bipedal warehouse and logistics robot from Agility Robotics, a United States company. It is purpose-built for structured handling work such as moving totes and bins rather than general household tasks, and is distinctive for its reverse-knee leg design and its reported paid deployment record.
Can you buy Agility Digit in the UK?
There is no confirmed open UK sale of Digit as a standalone product as of October 2026. Agility Robotics deploys it mainly through a service and subscription model, so access is a direct commercial engagement with the manufacturer rather than a retail purchase.
How much does Agility Digit cost?
Agility Robotics has not published a fixed public purchase price, and the robot is deployed mainly through a service model rather than sold outright, so a reliable UK price cannot be stated here. Confirm any figure directly with the manufacturer and treat unattributed price claims with caution.
What is Agility Digit used for?
Structured logistics and warehouse handling: picking up standard totes and bins, carrying them short distances, and placing them onto conveyors or shelving, repeatedly, across shifts. Agility Robotics reports named logistics and manufacturing customers and a substantial record of operating hours.
