Description
Standing at 1.75 meters (5’9″) tall and weighing approximately 65 kg (143 lbs), Digit boasts an impressive array of features that make it well-suited for various tasks in logistics, warehousing, and potentially even home assistance. The robot’s unique leg design allows for more dynamic and agile movement compared to traditional humanoid robots.
Digit can walk at speeds up to 5 km/h (3.1 mph) and carry payloads of up to 16 kg (35 lbs). Its sophisticated balance and navigation systems enable it to traverse various terrains, climb stairs, and avoid obstacles autonomously. This makes Digit especially valuable in environments where wheeled robots might struggle.
The robot is equipped with a range of sensors, including lidar, four Intel RealSense depth cameras, and a MEMS IMU, allowing it to perceive and interact with its environment effectively. Its arms, each with three degrees of freedom, provide the dexterity needed for manipulating objects and maintaining balance.Agility Robotics has demonstrated Digit’s capabilities through various tasks, including package delivery, warehouse operations, and even more complex actions like opening doors. The company envisions Digit working alongside humans in factories and warehouses, taking on repetitive or physically demanding tasks to improve efficiency and workplace safety.
One of Digit’s most impressive features is its ability to get up off the ground independently if it falls, a crucial capability for a robot designed to work autonomously in human environments.As of 2023, Agility Robotics has unveiled the next generation of Digit, further enhancing its capabilities for logistics work. The company is positioning Digit as the first human-centric, multi-purpose robot specifically designed for bulk material handling within warehouses and distribution centers.
Looking to the future, Agility Robotics has ambitious plans for Digit. The company has established a robot factory in Oregon capable of producing up to 10,000 Digits per year, indicating their confidence in the growing demand for humanoid robots in various industries.
