New Pittsburgh facility to scale Digit support and software development
Agility Robotics has opened a 50,000-square-foot facility in Pittsburgh, which will add about 35,000 square feet to its existing footprint. The site will serve as a center for AI and software skill development for Digit, while expanding deployment, monitoring, customer support, and complex robot service operations as customer demand grows.

Growing global customers including automotive, consumer goods, agriculture
The expansion follows recent momentum with Digit securing over $300 million in multi-year orders (pending milestones). Agility announced a pilot with agricultural machinery leader AGCO and added four new customers across automotive, consumer goods, and agriculture industries.

What this means for Australia
This global development shows increased commercial scalability and post-sale support capability for Agility's Digit humanoid, which could inform questions for Australian homes and businesses planning advanced robotics. Key questions include whether local support or parts supply will be available to support reliable operation in Australia, what the total cost of ownership and warranty conditions might be, and how Digit’s demonstrated reliability with large customers translates to smaller-scale Australian commercial or industrial use. No direct indication exists yet of deployment or support presence in Australia.
