Mercado Libre to trial Agility's Digit humanoid in a Texas fulfillment center.

Agility Robotics has added Mercado Libre, the dominant e-commerce and fintech platform across Latin America, to Digit's roster of logistics customers, with the humanoid set to be tested at a fulfillment center in Texas. The move widens Agility's commercial footprint from supply-chain specialists like GXO into a consumer-facing marketplace operator, and signals that demand for warehouse humanoids is broadening beyond the earliest logistics adopters.

The task profile is the point. Digit is built for the unglamorous, high-repetition work that dominates fulfillment — moving totes, feeding conveyors, handling containers — where the labor is hard to staff and easy to measure. By landing a name synonymous with e-commerce in a fast-growing region, Agility strengthens the argument that its near-term value is concrete throughput in real facilities, not open-ended general-purpose capability. It is a deployment story, not a demo.

Timing matters for Agility. The company spent 2025 accumulating operational hours with Digit in live commercial settings and building the safety and reliability record that enterprise buyers demand before committing fleets. A pilot with an operator of Mercado Libre's scale is exactly the kind of reference customer that turns a pilot pipeline into repeatable, multi-site contracts — and the kind of proof point that matters as the company moves toward the public markets.

For the category, the deal reinforces that warehouse logistics remains the clearest path to humanoid revenue today, and that the customer base is diversifying by geography and business model. As Chinese manufacturers like UBTECH chase industrial volume and home-robot entrants chase the consumer, Agility's logistics-first, deployment-by-deployment approach continues to look like the surest way to bill real hours for real work right now.
