Agility Robotics Unveils Digit5 Humanoid Robot for Collaborative Work

Agility Robotics has unveiled its new Digit5 humanoid robot, designed to collaborate with people in close proximity without the need for physical safety fences. The Digit5 is equipped with sensors that recognize nearby individuals and can pause or sit down to avoid collisions when necessary. Bloomberg reported that Agility Robotics introduced the Digit5 on May 15th. The robot can lift up to approximately 23kg, an increase from the previous model's 16kg capacity, with a battery life of 90 minutes and a recharge time of just nine minutes. Agility Robotics stated it has deployed robots at nine customer facilities including Schaeffler, GXO Logistics, and Toyota Canada Manufacturing, accumulating over 65,000 hours of operational time. The company also revealed that multi-year orders for Digit5 have exceeded $300 million (approximately 40.41 billion won).
