AGCO plans Digit humanoid pilot at Kansas factory

AGCO and Agility Robotics signed a commercial agreement for a U.S. pilot of Digit at AGCO’s Hesston, Kansas, manufacturing site, expected to begin in 2027. The humanoid is intended to support assembly and production work, including sorting and stacking parts and placing totes for storage. The companies describe the planned deployment as a way to automate repetitive or strenuous tasks; the article does not report results from an operating pilot.
