While Tesla bets big on its future robot, Agility already has a working robot, Digit, hauling totes for Amazon and Toyota and earning $300 million in contracts. CEO Peggy Johnson sees Tesla’s entry as a boost, noting Agility’s early lead in real-world deployment. Digit is already handling over 100,000 totes daily in warehouses, and the company plans to go public via a reverse merger later this year. Unlike Tesla’s AI-heavy approach, Agility focuses on practical, safe industrial use—no home robots in sight. Their upcoming Digit V5 will sense humans, freeing it from robot-only zones. Co-founder Jonathan Hurst envisions a trillion-dollar market as robots take over manufacturing and logistics, starting with simple tasks like moving bins and scaling up to truck loading.
