Agility details Digit 5 humanoid for warehouse automation
Agility Robotics has detailed Digit 5, the fifth generation of its industrial humanoid, with a listed 23 kg payload, 2.2 meter reach and enough operating endurance to work 20 hours in a 24 hour shift. The company is positioning the robot for autonomous material handling and other end to end workflows around people and existing industrial automation.
According to Agility’s product page, Digit 5 has a 10:1 run to charge ratio, allowing it to spend less time at its dock. The company says the robot can operate throughout a facility, handle heavy lifting and be retasked as workflow requirements change. Swappable grippers are intended to support different jobs, although the page does not specify the available gripper configurations or supported task library.
Key facts
- Payload: 23 kg, or 50 lb
- Reach: 2.2 meters, or 7.2 feet
- Run to charge ratio: 10:1
- Work per shift: 20 hours in 24 hours
- Operational training data: 65,000 hours
- More than $300 million in multi-year orders for Digit 5 (stated by Agility CEO Peggy Johnson)
Fleet integration and cooperative safety
Digit 5 ships with fleet management software designed to connect with warehouse automation systems, including AMRs, WMS, WES and MES. That integration layer is central to Agility’s pitch: a useful warehouse humanoid must coordinate with existing equipment and software rather than operate as an isolated machine.
The company also emphasizes cooperative safety and says Digit 5 is designed to work near people. Its software was trained using 65,000 hours of real world operational data, which Agility links to safety, security and reliability. The product page does not identify a certification, safety standard or test protocol supporting those claims, so the available evidence remains the company’s own description.
Agility says a supporting service ecosystem is intended to maximize uptime. The Digit 5 humanoid is being offered through direct sales inquiries, but the page does not publish pricing, delivery timing or detailed deployment requirements.
