• Spotlight: Jonathan Hurst — Oregon Journalism Project

  Skip to Content Oregon Journalism Project Donate Oregon Journalism Project Donate Agility’s flagship robot, “Digit,” is in experimental use in Amazon warehouses and Toyota manufacturing plants (Courtesy of Agility) # Spotlight: Jonathan Hurst By OJP Staff March 8, 2026 Jonathan Hurst is the co-founder and chief robot officer of Agility Robotics, a startup that began at Oregon State University and makes humanoid robots with artificial intelligence. The company, whose flagship robot, “Digit,” is already in experimental use in everything from Amazon warehouses to Toyota manufacturing plants, is one of the best funded startups in the history of the state. [...] Hurst, 46, is also professor of robotics at OSU. He joined the school as its first robotics professor in 2008 and helped build the university’s globally renowned robotics and AI programs. While Hurst will not divulge details, analysts estimate that Agility has raised more than $640 million and is valued at approximately $2.5 billion. Hurst says Oregon State University owns some equity in the company. OJP wanted to talk to Hurst about the state of robotics, the climate for growing a business in Oregon, the challenges he faces, and the social implications of robots in the workplace. The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. OJP: We realize that your company is far from profitable as a startup, but where is the company in terms of science and engineering? [...] Jonathan Hurst: Several years ago, we built Cassie, which, for the first time ever, had joints. Most robot arms are very, very rigid. But if you want a robot that can jump and bounce and move, you need that, and Cassie was among the very first that had that capability. We sold those to Caltech and Harvard and Berkeley and Michigan and others who have had robotics programs—and then we started building the humanoids, machines that we think, as engineers, are likely to be multipurpose and operate in human spaces. Now we use those machines to do proofs of concept. And our first real product, Digit v5, is coming out later this year. This robot will be the first that is really getting to the scaling point of us being able to make a lot of these and make sure that they are providing value to the
