Her role as an individual consultant focuses on leveraging real-world experience from the deployment of Digit, the company’s general-purpose humanoid robot. By applying lessons from over 65,000 hours of commercial operations, Johnson intends to address how machines might relieve personnel of repetitive, physically demanding tasks in complex environments.

Agility Robotics CEO Joins Defense Initiative Project Meridian
Peggy Johnson, head of humanoid robotics firm Agility Robotics, has been tapped to join Project Meridian, a Department of War-commissioned initiative led by The MITRE Corporation. The group aims to shape national security strategy and defense investment priorities through a long-term assessment of emerging technology over the next two decades.
The initiative specifically explores the intersection of physical AI and defense infrastructure, looking toward a 10- to 20-year horizon. While Johnson’s participation is separate from Agility Robotics’ corporate operations, her inclusion signals a growing interest from defense planners in adapting commercial humanoid technology to modernize supply chains and operational support. The project serves as a strategic forum for mapping the capabilities required to meet evolving national security challenges.
