Agility just unveiled Digit 5. Still green, but it's looking a little more Atlas these days.
It's designed to work alongside people without safety fences. It detects nearby people and can avoid them, stop or sit down, backed by an independent safety controller.
Payload rises 40% to 50 lb (22.7 kg). A 9-minute recharge supports 90 minutes of work. Swappable grippers are part of the plan to expand beyond hauling totes into machine tending, inspection and palletizing.
Digit 4 has already logged 65,000+ operating hours, and Agility reports $300M+ in multiyear orders for Digit 5.
Introducing Digit 5.
Agility’s next-generation humanoid, engineered for cooperatively safe work at scale, allowing it to work in close proximity to people without the physical safety barriers required by traditional automation.
