Agility Digit Humanoid Robot

Most automation projects start with a demolition plan: move the racking, fence the cell, redraw the walkways. The Agility Digit Humanoid Robot starts from the opposite idea. The building stays as it is, and the machine is shaped to fit the people who already work in it. Two legs, two arms and a human-scale frame let it step into spaces that were laid out for workers, not for robots.

Background

The company and its lineage

Digit comes from Agility, a robotics company that builds its humanoids by hand. Digit is assembled by the Agility team in Salem, OR. It is the first multi-purpose, human-centric robot made for work, and the first to land jobs with supply chain partners including Toyota, Amazon, Mercado Libre and GXO, the world's largest pure-play contract logistics provider.

That track record matters to a buyer because it points to production use rather than laboratory demonstration. Digit is a humanoid robot with 65,000 hours of real production experience. Those hours shape the current machine, and they also shape the next one: Digit 5 is in development and is measured directly against the Digit that ships today.

Positioning and key technology

Digit is positioned as a general-purpose worker for logistics and industrial settings. Its human form factor means industrial environments do not have to be redesigned. For a warehouse operator in the Caribbean, where buildings are often older, tighter or already full of equipment, that is a practical argument. Moving a wall is harder than teaching a robot a workflow.

Digit operates fully autonomously in production environments, following pre-designated workflows. It is not a free-thinking helper; it is a robot that carries out defined tasks reliably. Its multi-layered perception system, which includes RGB cameras, Lidar and infrared depth sensors, detects unexpected obstacles and safely pauses or re-routes.

Digit is also designed to work with the automation a site already runs, such as AMRs, AGVs and conveyance, and it integrates with AMRs from MiR and Zebra Technologies. A cloud platform called Arc connects Digit to existing warehouse automation, including AMRs and management and execution systems.

What makes Digit different from conventional automation?

A conveyor, an AGV or a fixed robotic cell is excellent at one job in one place. It also asks the site to adapt: new footprints, guarding, and layouts built around the machine. Digit trades some of that specialization for flexibility. Because it has a human form factor, it works in spaces where people work, and the site does not need a redesign to receive it.

It also does not replace the equipment already on the floor. Digit is designed to work with existing automation platforms like AMRs, AGVs and conveyance. In practice, an AMR can carry totes through a facility while Digit handles the steps that need a person-sized reach, such as moving a tote between a mobile base and a conveyor. The Arc cloud platform is the link that ties Digit to management and execution systems, so the robot receives its work from the same systems that run the rest of the operation.

Safety is part of the same argument. A robot that shares space with people needs more than good intentions. Digit carries a Safety PLC that meets Performance Level d, a Category 1 stop, an on-robot E-stop, a wireless teach pendant with its own integrated E-stop, and Functional Safety over EtherCAT. These are the features an operations manager and a safety officer will want to review together before deployment.

What does Digit 5 change compared with the Digit that ships today?

Digit 5 is in development, so the figures below are not for the robot you would receive from the current line. They show where the platform is heading. Digit 5 is listed at 284 lb (129 kg) and 5' 11" (1.81 m), with a reach of up to 7.2 feet (2.2 m), up from 5.5 ft on Digit 4. Its run-to-charge ratio is 10:1, up from 2:1 on Digit 4. In plain terms, the next generation is meant to spend far more of its time working and far less on the charger.

For a buyer, the sensible reading is that Digit 4 is the version to plan around today, while the Digit 5 figures show the direction of the product. Anything you plan on Digit 5 should be treated as a conversation, not as a delivery commitment. Please ask us about the current status when you request a quotation.

Who is the Agility Digit Humanoid Robot for?

Digit suits logistics operators and contract warehousing companies that already run AMRs, AGVs or conveyors and want to automate the manual steps in between. It also suits manufacturers with repetitive tote, pallet or machine-feeding tasks, and integrators who build workflow-based solutions for their own customers.

It is a fit for sites with standard industrial indoor floors and a controlled temperature range of 0°C to 35°C. Facilities that are open-air, wet or outside that range should talk to us about their conditions first.

It is less suited to anyone who expects a robot that improvises. Digit follows pre-designated workflows, so it rewards buyers who can describe their process clearly. Research groups and universities exploring humanoid robotics will find it of interest as well. If you are comparing platforms, browse our Bipedal Humanoids and the wider Humanoids categories.

What is the Agility Digit Humanoid Robot used for?

1. Tote handling. Moving totes between conveyors, shelves and mobile robots, which is the core of many warehouse flows.
2. Palletizing and depalletizing. Building and breaking down pallets at the edges of a logistics operation.
3. Machine tending. Loading and unloading workstations so that people can move to higher-value tasks.
4. Kitting and sequencing. Assembling items in the right order for the next stage of a process.
5. Working alongside AMRs and AGVs. Handling the hand-off steps that mobile bases and conveyors cannot do on their own.
6. Workflow pilots in existing facilities. Trying automation in a live building without redesigning it around a new machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall is Digit and how much can it lift?

Digit stands 175 cm, weighs 64 kg and lifts 16 kg per cycle. Digit 5, which is in development, is listed separately at 1.81 m.

How long does the battery last?

Digit has an expanded battery that lasts up to four hours, with autonomous docking onto a charging station.

Does Digit need a redesigned facility?

No. Its human form factor means industrial environments do not have to be redesigned. It operates on standard industrial indoor floors, and mats can be added for extra traction.

Can Digit work with the automation we already have?

Yes. It is designed to work with AMRs, AGVs and conveyance, and it integrates with AMRs from MiR and Zebra Technologies. The Arc platform connects it to warehouse management and execution systems.

What safety features does it have?

Digit has a Category 1 stop, a Safety PLC at Performance Level d, an on-robot E-stop, a wireless teach pendant with integrated E-stop and Functional Safety over EtherCAT. Its perception system pauses or re-routes when it detects an unexpected obstacle.

What temperature range can it work in?

Digit operates between 0°C and 35°C (32°F to 95°F) on standard industrial indoor floors.

Where can I buy the Agility Digit Humanoid Robot and what does it cost?

You can request it through this page, by quotation. We do not list prices; the quotation covers the configuration, delivery, customs and support for your site.

Summary

The case for Digit is simple: it fits the building you already have instead of asking you to rebuild it. It brings a human-scale form, a defined set of warehouse skills, stated safety hardware, and integration with the AMRs, AGVs and conveyors already in use. Digit 5 shows where the platform is going, while Digit 4 is the version to plan around. If a humanoid worker belongs in your operation, this page is the starting point.
