Agility Robotics becomes first US publicly traded humanoid robot maker on Nasdaq
Ars Technica AI · rss · 2026-11-05
Agility Robotics listed on Nasdaq on November 5, becoming the first dedicated humanoid robot developer publicly traded in the US. Its filing candidly admits humanoids remain unproven at scale versus decades-proven industrial robots. The Salem, Oregon company achieved the first full-time commercial humanoid deployment at a customer warehouse in 2024, and pitches a robots-as-service model priced near human labor rates for day-one ROI.
