Start-up to Open World’s First Factory for Humanoid Robots
SALEM, OR—Agility Robotics will soon open a new factory here to produce its bipedal humanoid robot Digit. Dubbed RoboFab, the factory will be able to produce more than 10,000 robots per year.
Initial construction of Agility’s 70,000 square foot factory began last year, and it is set to open later this year. Agility anticipates that the factory will produce hundreds of Digit robots in its first year of operation. At full capacity, RoboFab will employ more than 500 workers. The factory will also employ the Digit robot for moving, loading and unloading totes.
