Agility is moving away from its ostrich-like, backward-bending knee design (essentially a high ankle joint) toward more human-like legs with its new-generation humanoid.
Digit 5 has just been unveiled.
- New cycloidal hip/knee actuators, 50 lb payload, 20-hour shifts, 10:1 run-to-charge (90-min battery, 9-min charge).
- It stands 5'11" (1.81 m), weighs 284 lb (129 kg), and reaches up to 7.2 ft (up from Digit 4's 5.5 ft).
- Agility claims $300M+ in multi-year customer orders for Digit 5. Early access deliveries start in H1 2027, and they'll also be expanding into the EU and UK.
This lands as Agility is set to go public via a $2.5B SPAC merger with Michael Klein's Churchill Capital Corp XI (ticker AGLT), expected to close later in 2026 pending shareholder and SEC approval.
