Digit

Digit is a bipedal humanoid robot developed by Agility Robotics, Inc. and first commercially deployed in 2023 as the company's flagship platform for warehouse logistics and material handling automation. Designed to operate in human-scale environments without facility modification, Digit stands 1,750 mm tall and weighs 93 kg, featuring a distinctive reverse-knee leg architecture that provides stable, agile bipedal locomotion across stairs, curbs, inclines, and uneven terrain. With a payload capacity of 16 kg, four-DoF arms, a vertical reach of 0 to 1,670 mm, exchangeable end-effectors, and a 3.0 kWh battery providing up to 4 hours of runtime with autonomous docking for recharging, Digit is operated through the Agility Arc cloud-based fleet management platform and integrates directly with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Warehouse Execution Systems (WES), and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). It achieved a milestone of 100,000 totes moved at GXO Logistics by the end of 2025 and holds the distinction of being the first humanoid robot to generate sustained revenue from paying commercial customers.

• Tote and Box Handling:
  Picks up, moves, and places totes, boxes, and packages weighing up to 16 kg (35.3 lbs) across warehouse and distribution centre environments, executing structured pick-and-place, stacking, and sorting workflows alongside existing AMR infrastructure.
• Autonomous Bipedal Navigation in Human Environments:
  Traverses stairs, steps on and off curbs, climbs inclines, and navigates unstructured terrain including grass and gravel, accessing locations within human-scale facilities that wheeled robots cannot reach.
• Autonomous Docking and Recharging:
  Independently identifies when battery charge is low, navigates to its docking station, and initiates recharging autonomously, completing a full charge in approximately 2 hours and supporting multi-shift operation with scheduled charge cycles.
• AMR Coordination and Workflow Integration:
  Coordinates directly with Autonomous Mobile Robots through the Arc platform, dispatching them to retrieve or deliver materials in support of Digit's manipulation tasks, extending the effective logistics chain beyond single-robot capability.
• Safety-Compliant Human Co-Working:
  Detects people and obstacles in real time using its 360-degree sensor field, pausing and routing around them autonomously in compliance with ANSI and ISO safety standards, enabling deployment in occupied facilities without safety cages or barriers.
• Modular End Effector Task Adaptation:
  Supports changeable end-effectors for different task types, enabling a single Digit unit to be reconfigured for different material handling workflows without hardware replacement of the core robot.

• Warehousing and Distribution:
  The primary commercial deployment environment. Digit automates tote retrieval, sortation, package palletising, and material flow tasks in distribution centres, addressing chronic labour shortages and high worker turnover rates in this sector.
• Manufacturing:
  Supports material movement, line feeding, and logistics functions in production facilities, operating alongside human workers in shared floor environments for repetitive or physically demanding transport tasks.
• Third-Party Logistics (3PL):
  Deployed by 3PL operators including GXO Logistics for flexible capacity augmentation during peak periods, with the RaaS model reducing upfront capital commitment.
