Agility Robotics plants its flag in Tesla’s backyard

Agility Robotics is opening a 60,000-square-foot training center for its Digit humanoid robot in Fremont, California, near Tesla's factory where Optimus is expected to be produced. Unlike Tesla's Optimus, which is not yet commercialized, Digit is already generating revenue in warehouses for customers like Amazon, and Agility has secured $300 million in contract orders. The company is positioning itself as the first publicly traded pure-play humanoid robot firm, capitalizing on its lead in real-world deployment.
