[1] The company was founded in 2015 as a spin-off from Oregon State University[2] and currently provides automation solutions, based around its humanoid robot Digit.

As a part of spinning out from Oregon State, Agility brought with them their first robot, Cassie, a biped with no upper body or perception systems.

Cassie was sold as a research platform to labs and innovation departments, starting in 2016, and would go on to set the Guinness World Record for 100M run by a bipedal robot.

Digit was equipped with a torso, arms, and a full perception system and was sold to academic labs and research institutes.

[8] In 2021, Agility expanded Digit's capabilities to serve the warehouse and logistics industry by focusing on bulk material handling tasks.
