Agility Robotics Nears Public Debut as SPAC Merger Advances

Agility Robotics is moving closer to becoming the first publicly traded humanoid robotics company as its planned merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI progresses through the U.S. regulatory approval process. Recent SEC filings mark another milestone toward the company's anticipated Nasdaq debut, while investors await the formal S-4 registration statement and shareholder approval required to complete the transaction.

Valued at approximately $2.5 billion, Agility Robotics has raised more than $620 million to support commercial expansion of its Digit humanoid robot. The company has accumulated over 65,000 hours of commercial robot operation across enterprise customer sites and secured more than $300 million in multi-year Robots-as-a-Service commitments, positioning it among the most commercially advanced humanoid robotics developers.

Peggy Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Agility Robotics, stated:

"Our focus remains on delivering practical humanoid robots that solve real workforce challenges for enterprise customers. As we move through the public listing process, we continue expanding deployments while advancing the technology, manufacturing capabilities, and safety standards required for large-scale commercial adoption."

Digit combines bipedal mobility with AI-powered perception, autonomous navigation, and whole-body manipulation for warehouse material handling. The latest Digit v5 platform integrates NVIDIA's Halos safety architecture to support future cooperative operation alongside human workers, subject to independent industrial safety certification before widespread deployment.

Jen Hunter, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Agility Robotics, stated:

"Scaling commercial humanoid robotics requires more than innovative hardware. It depends on manufacturing readiness, operational reliability, and customer success, supported by a sustainable Robots-as-a-Service business model that delivers measurable value across industrial environments."

Following completion of the merger, Agility Robotics plans to increase production at its RoboFab manufacturing facility in Oregon, expand enterprise deployments, accelerate software development, and strengthen partnerships supporting the global adoption of AI-powered humanoid robots.
