Quick answer
Yes. Agility Robotics, maker of the Digit humanoid robot, began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker AGLT on November 5, 2026, a day after closing its merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI. Agility says the deal raised about $465 million before expenses and calls itself the first U.S.-listed pure-play humanoid robotics company.
Is Agility Robotics a public company now?
Yes, as of Thursday, November 5, 2026. Agility’s November 4 announcement says it completed its business combination with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Its November 5 release says the common stock trades on Nasdaq as AGLT and the warrants as AGLTW. Before the merger, the SPAC traded as CCXI.
“First U.S. publicly listed pure-play humanoid robotics company” is Agility’s own description. It means a listed company whose main business is humanoid robots, not a carmaker or chip company with a robot project on the side.
How much money did Agility Robotics raise?
About $465 million in gross capital before transaction expenses, according to Agility. Churchill’s November 2 shareholder-vote release, filed with the SEC, breaks it down:
| Source of money | Approximate amount |
|---|---|
| Churchill XI trust account | $164 million |
| PIPE investment at $10 per share, led by Foxconn | $201 million |
| Equity Agility received earlier | $100 million |
| Total, before expenses | About $465 million |
A PIPE is a “private investment in public equity”: big investors agree to buy shares at a fixed price when the deal closes.
What does the Digit robot actually do?
Digit is a two-legged humanoid built for warehouse and factory work. Agility describes it as a “general-purpose humanoid robot” that is “commercially deployed in manufacturing, distribution and logistics environments.” In practice that means moving totes and handling the repetitive lifting people burn out on.
CEO Peggy Johnson, in the November 5 release: “Digit is doing real work in customer operations today, taking on repetitive, physically demanding tasks.”
Who uses Digit today?
Agility names these customers and commitments in its listing announcements:
| Customer | Status, per Agility |
|---|---|
| GXO | Deployed; expanding to two more U.S. sites in early 2027 |
| Schaeffler | Deployed |
| Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada | Deployed |
| AGCO | Pilot signed for 2027 |
Agility also reports more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for Digit 5, its next version, “subject to contractual milestones.” That last phrase matters: committed orders are not the same as recognized revenue.
Should you buy AGLT stock?
That’s your call, and Zip AI doesn’t give investment advice. What we can tell you is what to watch. Agility’s releases don’t include revenue guidance, and newly merged SPAC stocks often swing hard in their first weeks. The numbers worth tracking are how many Digit units are actually working, whether the Digit 5 orders hit their milestones, and the first quarterly report as a public company.
What does this mean for robots at home?
Nothing directly, yet. Agility’s announcements are about factories and warehouses, and it hasn’t announced a home robot. But public money changes the pace for the whole humanoid field. Peaches’ take: the warehouse is the training ground. The robots that prove they can carry boxes all day without breaking are the ones that eventually earn a spot near your laundry basket.
Peaches’ checklist for following this story
- ☐ Bookmark Agility’s newsroom for deployment updates.
- ☐ Watch for the first quarterly filing on the SEC’s EDGAR site.
- ☐ Note when GXO’s two new sites go live in early 2027.
- ☐ Compare Digit’s real jobs against humanoid demo videos, which rarely show a full shift.
