RoboFab

Agility Robotics' 70,000-square-foot RoboFab in Salem manufactures Digit humanoid robots. The facility is designed to scale beyond 10,000 robots annually, beginning with hundreds of units in its first year. Agility said RoboFab will employ more than 500 workers in Salem at full capacity; AFT records the conservative 500-job target, preserves that full-capacity qualification, and leaves investment undisclosed because the company did not publish a facility-specific capital figure.

Why this project qualifies

With more than 500 permanent operating jobs announced, this project clears AFT's 100-permanent-job threshold (AFT includes any project meeting $100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). It is also confirmed by official public sources and involves a physical manufacturing facility in the United States.

Why it matters

The robotics & automation context.

Robotics & Automation tracks qualifying U.S. facilities manufacturing industrial robots, humanoid robots, automated systems and related robotic equipment. The category follows the physical production sites where robotics companies build machines and core components, while distinguishing them from software-only, research-only, warehouse-operations and end-user deployment projects.
