Agility Robotics is opening a 60,000-square-foot facility to train its humanoid robots in Fremont, California, near the factory where Tesla is expected to start manufacturing its Optimus robots this year. Elon Musk recently said he expects Optimus to be “the biggest product ever” once it’s “useful outside of Tesla sometime next year.” Agility’s robot, Digit, is already generating revenue, carrying totes and bins in manufacturing and warehouse settings for customers like Amazon, GXO, Schaeffler, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. The company says it has secured $300 million in contract orders for its robots. “It’s great to have [Tesla] in the same area as us, because really, for a long time Agility was out there alone, and it’s good to have others in the humanoid space,” CEO Peggy Johnson told TechCrunch. Agility hasn’t disclosed how many Digits it has built or deployed, but outside observers estimate that dozens have worked in pilot or revenue-generating deployments. The company has said Digits have moved 100,000 totes at a GXO logistics facility. Johnson is currently leading Agility through a reverse-merger expected to make it the first pure-play humanoid robot company on the public markets later this year. Founded in 2015 by researchers who developed new techniques for safe bipedal walking, Agility is taking a practical approach to autonomy, with co-founder Damion Shelton
