Robot Brief

Digit is a state-of-the-art humanoid robot developed by Agility Robotics, designed to work safely and efficiently alongside humans in complex, real-world environments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and last-mile delivery scenarios. Standing approximately 1.75 meters tall and weighing around 37 kg, Digit features a bipedal design with human-like backward-bending knees that enable it to navigate stairs, curbs, and uneven terrain with agility and balance. The latest generation of Digit includes expanded battery life of up to four hours, autonomous docking for recharging, and enhanced safety systems compliant with industrial standards. Its modular design incorporates robust limbs and end effectors that provide a wider range of grasping angles, enabling versatile manipulation tasks such as tote handling, box stacking, and package palletizing. Digit integrates seamlessly with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), autonomously dispatching them to transport materials, thereby optimizing workflows in human-centric environments. Equipped with advanced sensors, AI-driven perception, and precise motion control, Digit exemplifies the future of collaborative robotics by augmenting human labor and improving operational productivity.

Use Cases

Digit performs a variety of material handling and logistics tasks including picking up, moving, and placing boxes or totes weighing up to 18 kg (40 lbs). It autonomously navigates complex indoor and outdoor environments, capable of climbing stairs, stepping on and off curbs, and moving across unstructured terrain such as grass or gravel. Digit’s arms and hands provide dexterous manipulation, allowing it to open doors, balance when bumped, and execute precise placing and stacking operations. It also supports autonomous docking for battery recharging and can coordinate with AMRs to facilitate efficient material transport. Designed to operate safely alongside humans, Digit pauses and navigates around people or obstacles, enabling collaborative workflows in OSHA-regulated environments.

Industries

  • Warehousing & Distribution: Automates tote handling, package sorting, and palletizing to increase throughput.
  • Manufacturing: Assists with material movement and logistics in production facilities.
  • Last-Mile Delivery: Enables autonomous curb-to-doorstep package delivery.
  • Logistics: Supports coordination with AMRs for efficient material transport.
  • Industrial Safety: Complies with safety standards for operation in human-shared environments.
