Agility Robotics Digit

Digit is Agility Robotics’ humanoid robot offering for automating repetitive and physically demanding work. The company presents it as a general-purpose, human-centric robot made for work, rather than a demonstration-only machine. Its stated initial focus is manufacturing, logistics, and distribution: structured environments where repetitive tasks give Agility an opportunity to develop and validate safety, durability, and predictable operation. The company says that experience can support expansion toward more variable and complex environments over time. Digit 5 is presented as the fifth generation of the robot, built on a decade of research and years of deployment experience. Agility describes it as engineered for cooperative safety and operation in close proximity to people and other industrial automation. The robot is intended to work autonomously across facility workflows, handle heavy lifting, and adapt to changing tasks. The product page lists a payload of 23 kg (50 lb), a reach of 2.2 m (7.2 ft), a 10:1 work-to-charge ratio, and up to 20 hours of work in a 24-hour period. These are company-provided specifications, marked with an asterisk on the page. Agility says Digit is trained on 65,000 hours of real-world operational data and supported by a service ecosystem intended to maximize uptime. Its homepage also presents Arc as the cloud platform for running robot fleets and describes the robots and platform as powered by the company’s continuously improving AI stack. Digit is assembled by Agility’s team in Salem, Oregon, United States. Agility describes deployments or customer relationships involving supply-chain partners Toyota, Amazon, Mercado Libre, and GXO. The company frames Digit as a tool to augment human workers by taking on repetitive or difficult physical tasks. The available evidence does not establish a founding year for Digit, its ownership beyond its association with Agility Robotics, a corporate headquarters, or the commercial terms and scale of its deployments.

Agility Robotics presents Digit as the result of more than a decade of work in advanced robotics. The company’s account places its early focus on manufacturing, logistics, and distribution, which it describes as relatively structured settings with many repetitive tasks. It says that operating in industrial environments has helped it build experience in safety, durability, predictability, and the collection of information about the physical world. The supplied evidence does not provide a specific founding date or a dated chronology for the robot’s earliest development, so those dates cannot be stated here. Digit developed as Agility’s humanoid robot for practical work. The company describes it as a general-purpose, human-centric robot intended to augment the workforce, with the aim of taking on repetitive and difficult physical tasks. Agility’s vision page distinguishes earlier Digit 4, which performed repetitive tasks in rigid industrial settings behind constrained safety barriers, from Digit 5, which it calls its first humanoid designed for cooperative safety and work throughout a facility. The evidence does not give release dates for these generations. The Digit 5 product page says the fifth generation builds on a decade of research and years of deployment experience. It describes the robot as adaptable to end-to-end workflows, able to work near people and other automation, and designed for heavy lifting and endurance. The product page lists a 23 kg payload, 2.2 m reach, a 10:1 work-to-charge ratio, and up to 20 hours of work per 24-hour period. Agility also says the platform is trained on 65,000 hours of real-world operational data and backed by a service ecosystem intended to maximize uptime. Agility’s homepage connects Digit to Arc, a cloud platform for operating robot fleets, and to the company’s continuously improving AI stack. It describes a staged deployment process: assess how Digit may help automate a facility, validate the robot on site as part of a workflow, and partner with the customer to maintain throughput and support growth. The company says Digit is assembled by its team in Salem, Oregon. Agility’s company page names Toyota, Amazon, Mercado Libre, and GXO as supply-chain partners with which Digit has landed jobs. The supplied material does not detail the dates, locations, volumes, or contractual terms of these deployments. The homepage lists a September 17, 2026 press announcement unveiling Digit 5. The available sources do not establish ownership beyond Digit’s association with Agility Robotics, a separate corporate structure for the product, or public-listing status.
