Agility Robotics plans to open a 50,000-square-foot Pittsburgh facility for software and AI development, customer deployments and robot servicing. The expansion adds approximately 35,000 square feet to its existing local footprint. Agility expects employees to begin accessing the site before the end of 2026.
The facility will bring together teams developing Digit skills, deploying robots, supporting operating fleets and repairing hardware. Dedicated areas will allow customers to test proposed workflows while Agility evaluates new skills in simulation and on physical robots. The site will also house an East Coast service centre, complementing support at RoboFab in Salem, Oregon.
Agility announced four additional customers spanning automotive, consumer goods and agriculture alongside the expansion. AGCO, identified in a pilot agreement announced on 20 October, plans to begin trials at its Hesston, Kansas, factory in 2027. Initial work covers parts sorting and stacking and the placement of totes for storage. The other three customers remain unnamed.
Digit is already operating with companies including GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. Supporting those deployments requires application validation, monitoring, maintenance and updates as workflows change. Pittsburgh will put the teams responsible for those functions alongside the engineers turning deployment experience into new robot capabilities.
The expansion gives Agility’s three principal US sites separate responsibilities: Salem handles manufacturing and operations, Fremont focuses on hardware and physical AI, and Pittsburgh will concentrate on software, skills and deployment support. The company plans to recruit software and AI engineers, service technicians, deployment specialists and team leaders in Pittsburgh.
