PITTSBURGH — Fresh off of its Nasdaq debut, Agility Robotics is preparing to double its workforce in Pittsburgh.
That’s according to Chief Business Officer Daniel Diez, who elaborated on the company’s expansion plans in an interview with the Pittsburgh Business Times. Agility, which makes a humanoid robot named Digit, is currently setting up a new 50,000-square-foot facility in Lawrenceville, the exact location of which has not been formally disclosed.
“The robots take space to train and we’re doing AI training and that involves a lot of data collection, a lot of teams working with live robots and that requires space,” Diez said. “Our Pittsburgh facility is entirely too small for us to do that, and so we’ve just leased a 50,000-square-foot space, thankfully still in Lawrenceville, so I’m very happy about that. But it will become a base of operation for our AI training teams, for our remote operations center where we monitor the robots that are deployed in the field, and it will become a service center for our robots, where instead of shipping them to our West Coast facilities we will now be able to ship them to our Pittsburgh facility.”
