Agility Robotics Plans New Pittsburgh Facility for Digit Software, AI and Service

SUMMARY

Agility Robotics announced on 21 October 2026 that it plans a new 50,000-square-foot facility in Pittsburgh. The company says the site is meant to support its expanding customer base and a growing number of commercial Digit deployments, and that it will add approximately 35,000 square feet to Agility's existing Pittsburgh footprint.

Agility says the site will be its centre of excellence for software and AI, concentrating on Digit skill development and software enablement, as well as a major hub for deployment and support teams. Those teams are responsible for supporting Digit fleets in customer operations, deploying new robots and workflows, validating customer applications, developing and validating new skills, and carrying out complex service and repair. Dedicated space will let Agility and its customers validate workflows through proof-of-technology evaluations, while teams develop and test new Digit skills in both simulation and physical environments.

Pittsburgh will also become Agility's East Coast service centre, complementing existing service capabilities at RoboFab in Salem, Oregon. Agility describes RoboFab as its manufacturing and operations centre, and its Fremont, California, facility as focused on hardware and physical AI development.

On the customer side, Agility says Digit already operates with GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, and that it is adding four customers across automotive, consumer goods and agriculture. It also says it has secured more than $300 million in multi-year orders for Digit 5, subject to satisfaction of certain contractual milestones. The company plans to hire software engineers, AI engineers, service technicians, deployment specialists and team leaders in Pittsburgh, and expects first employee access to the facility by the end of the year.
