Deployment status
Full-time commercial deployment at GXO Logistics's Flowery Branch facility — passed the 100,000-tote milestone in late 2025 in the industry-first humanoid RaaS arrangement. In February 2026, Agility signed a second commercial agreement with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada following a successful pilot; seven-plus Digit units are now active supporting RAV4 logistics at the TMMC plant. Pursuing ISO functional safety certification expected mid-to-late 2026, which would clear Digit for explicit human-collaboration deployments without barriers.
When this hits the labor market
Already happening at GXO and now Toyota Canada. 1-2 years for replication at the next tier of 3PL operators (DHL, Kenco, CEVA — the same crowd already using Locus AMRs). 2-4 years for broader logistics and light-manufacturing adoption once ISO safety certification clears explicit human-side-by-side work. The interesting question isn't whether Digit displaces warehouse pickers — it's whether Digit-class humanoids displace the *AMR* category (which already displaced human-only picking) by handling the tote-on-tote-off step that AMRs can't, and whether Toyota proving the auto-manufacturing use case opens the same door at every other OEM.

The first humanoid that actually clocks in
Agility Digit is the closest thing in May 2026 to a humanoid robot that does shift work. Not “demoed at a keynote” shift work — actual full-time deployment for paying customers, on real workflows, measured in totes moved per hour and dollars billed per month under a Robots-as-a-Service contract. The headline number we’d point to: more than 100,000 totes moved at GXO Logistics’s Flowery Branch facility in the first year of full-time deployment, a milestone reached in late 2025 and the basis for an industry-first multi-year humanoid RaaS agreement.
That contract has now been joined by a second. In February 2026 Agility announced a commercial agreement with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada — seven-plus Digits supporting RAV4 logistics at the plant after a successful pilot. The significance isn’t the unit count; it’s the category jump from 3PL warehousing into automotive OEM manufacturing logistics. If Toyota’s playbook works, the door opens at every other auto manufacturer that already runs lean material-handling crews.
What Digit actually does
Digit is purpose-built for logistics, not for general manipulation. It has the ostrich-like reverse-knee gait that makes 24/7 walking energy-efficient, eight hours of battery on a charge, four Intel RealSense depth cameras for 360° spatial awareness, and force sensors in each arm for compliant tote handling. The next-generation Digit shipping into these deployments raises payload to about 50 lbs and extends battery life.
The pending milestone is ISO functional safety certification, expected mid-to-late 2026. That clears Digit to work side-by-side with humans without the safety cage or designated zone that current deployments require — and once that ships, the addressable deployment count expands sharply.
Why we care for LostJobs
If you work order fulfillment in a 3PL warehouse — and you’ve already met a Locus Origin or similar AMR — Digit is what the AMR can’t do. The AMR moves carts. Digit takes the tote off the cart and puts it on the conveyor. That handoff has been one of the most-discussed bottlenecks in warehouse automation; it’s the reason 3PLs still hire seasonal pickers. Digit closes that gap. If you work line-side material handling for an auto OEM, Toyota Canada is the early read on a similar arc in your industry.
The displacement isn’t going to be sudden. Two reference accounts is still a small number. But the pattern — “humanoid does the part the AMR can’t, and AMR + humanoid together do the picker’s job” — is now the working architecture for warehouse and inbound-logistics automation by the late 2020s. Picker, tote handler, and parts-feeder roles are the canonical exposed jobs.
