GXO and Agility Robotics Extend Partnership From One Site to Three

According to the filing, GXO Logistics (NYSE:GXO) and Agility Robotics began their collaboration with a proof-of-concept pilot in late 2023 at GXO's Flowery Branch, Georgia location. In June 2024, the companies signed a multi-year Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) agreement, described in the filing as "the industry's first formal commercial deployment of humanoid robots in live operations." Under that agreement, Digit robots were deployed alongside existing automation to move totes and place them onto conveyors at the Flowery Branch site.

The press release included in the Form 425 discloses that the partnership is now expanding to GXO's Statesville, North Carolina and Lebanon, Tennessee sites. Digit will take on highly repetitive material-handling tasks at both locations in support of e-commerce fulfillment. The filing states that deployments are expected to begin in early 2027 using Digit 4, with plans to migrate to Digit 5 when it becomes commercially available. Digit 5 was unveiled on September 15, 2026 and is described in the filing as "designed for cooperatively safe work in close proximity to people" and intended to address a broader range of industrial workflows.

The filing also notes that Agility has invested in infrastructure to support commercial scaling, including RoboFab, its 70,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon, the cloud-based Agility Arc fleet management platform, and a recently announced Pittsburgh expansion. Separately, the filing discloses that the definitive proxy statement/prospectus related to the planned business combination between Churchill XI and Agility Robotics has been distributed to stockholders as of a September 14, 2026 record date. The business combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. The filing contains forward-looking statements, which the document notes are subject to the cautionary language described therein.
