July 9, 2026, 10:38 AM EDT. Agility Robotics is set to go public in a deal that would value it at $2.5 billion, CEO Peggy Johnson said. The company's Digit humanoid robots are built to take on tough, repetitive industrial work that's hard to fill, as U.S. manufacturers face a tight labor market. Johnson pointed to reshoring trends and the one million job gap in U.S. manufacturing, saying Digit can help meet those workforce needs.
