# Agility Robotics Files $2.5B SPAC for Digit Humanoid With $620M Proceeds

> Agility Robotics is heading to the public markets through a SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI that values the company at $2.5 billion. The deal is expected to bring in about $620 million in gross proceeds, including a $200 million private placement led by Foxconn, and to close before the end of 2026. Unlike a lot of humanoid hype, Agility has something to point to. Its Digit robot is already deployed in nine customer facilities and has logged more than 65,000 hours of operation, with over $300 million in multi-year orders for the next version tied to performance milestones and a pipeline of more than 30 companies. The significance is that warehouse humanoids are inching from demo videos toward real, financed businesses. Going public is a bet that legged robots doing repetitive logistics work can scale like a product rather than a science project, and the involvement of a manufacturing giant like Foxconn suggests the supply chain is starting to take that bet seriously too.
