Agility Robotics goes public on Nasdaq in US first for humanoid robots

Agility Robotics began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker AGLT following a SPAC merger, becoming the first dedicated pure-play humanoid robotics company to list publicly in the United States.

Agility Robotics made its public debut on the Nasdaq on Nov. 5, 2026, trading under the ticker symbol AGLT following a merger with a special purpose acquisition company. Bloomberg reported that the listing makes Agility the first dedicated humanoid robotics company to go public in the United States, marking a key milestone for the emerging hardware sector.[1][2][3][4]

Backed by investors including Nvidia, Amazon, and Foxconn, the company enters the public markets with more than $300 million in committed orders for its next-generation Digit 5 robot, according to Quartz.[6]

The debut has quickly drawn attention to the commercial viability of humanoid robotics. While the milestone provides a public benchmark for sector investment, Ars Technica highlighted that the listing invites closer scrutiny of the broader humanoid robot market, and MarketWatch reported that steep losses at Agility are raising red flags for investors.[4][5][7]
