Agility Robotics plants its flag in Tesla’s backyard

Agility Robotics is scaling its operations by opening a 60,000-square-foot training facility in Fremont, California, strategically located near Tesla’s hub for Optimus robot production. While Tesla generates significant hype, Agility emphasizes that its Digit robot is already commercially viable, having secured $300 million in contract orders and active deployments with major companies like Amazon and GXO. CEO Peggy Johnson is steering the company toward a public market debut while focusing on a practical approach to AI-driven autonomy that prioritizes safety systems over generative models.
