Agility Robotics plans to open a 60,000-square-foot facility in Fremont, California, to train its Digit humanoid robots and accelerate their deployment with customers. The move comes near a factory where Tesla is expected to begin manufacturing Optimus robots this year, while Agility is relying on its commercial experience in manufacturing and logistics sectors.
