AGCO and Agility Robotics signed a commercial agreement for a U.S. pilot of Agility’s Digit humanoid robot at AGCO’s Hesston, Kansas, production facility. The companies expect the pilot to begin in 2027.
The initial tasks are parts sorting and stacking, along with placing totes for storage, according to the announcement. AGCO said it was exploring Digit’s use in repetitive and hazardous work at the manufacturing operation.
AGCO said it expects the pilot to support manufacturing processes and employees in repetitive, physically demanding tasks, including by improving ergonomic safety and operational efficiency.
