Agility Robotics announced plans to go public through a merger with Michael Klein's Churchill Capital Corp XI, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The deal values the company at around $2.5 billion and is expected to raise more than $620 million in gross proceeds. The transaction has not closed and requires shareholder approval and SEC review, with completion expected later this year. Chief Executive Peggy Johnson spoke by phone with TechCrunch last week just after the announcement. Johnson was measured in her outlook. The article contrasts her approach with other humanoid startups. Agility develops the Digit humanoid robot for warehouses, factories and logistics. It has deployments with supply chain companies including GXO, Toyota and Mercado Libre. Amazon has tested the robot as well. Johnson is not promising a robot in homes anytime soon, the article states.
