Agility Robotics announced Digit 5, a general-purpose humanoid robot that can work alongside people without safety fences, the company says. Compared with Digit 4, payload capacity rises 40% and it can repeatedly lift objects up to 50 pounds. Its battery runs 90 minutes on a 9-minute charge, enabling more than 20 hours of productive work in 24 hours. Early access is scheduled for the first half of 2027, general deployment for the end of 2027.
Agility Robotics has announced Digit 5, a general-purpose humanoid robot the company says can work collaboratively with people without safety fences. The robot uses proprietary AI algorithms and multiple sensors to autonomously avoid, stop, and crouch, continuously observe nearby people, and signal intent through visual and auditory cues. Its battery runs 90 minutes on a 9-minute charge, an operation-to-charging ratio of 10:1 against Digit 4's 2:1, and ISO-standard replaceable joints let tools be swapped per task. Deployment into the United Kingdom and the EU is under consideration.
