Agility Robotics Digit

Agility Robotics' reverse-jointed bipedal humanoid, built mainly to carry totes in warehouses.

Digit is a bipedal humanoid robot developed by the American company Agility Robotics. Its legs carry over the reverse-jointed design, bending backward like a bird's, from its predecessor Cassie, and its upper body adds two arms and a simplified end effector, used mainly to carry totes, meaning plastic storage bins, around warehouses. The previous generation of Digit stood about 1.75 meters tall with roughly a 16 kg payload, and has already been deployed on a pay-per-use, robot-as-a-service basis at logistics companies such as GXO, with Agility also building a dedicated RoboFab factory to produce it. Digit 5, released on September 15, 2026, is built around “safe collaboration”: an array of sensors plus an independent safety controller monitor nearby people and automatically slow down, steer around, or stop when someone gets too close, aiming to work alongside human workers without safety fencing. The company said that, as of May 2026, multi-year orders had exceeded $300 million, with early deliveries planned for the first half of 2027 and full-scale supply by the end of that year.

ExampleDigit moves totes from shelves to conveyor belts inside a GXO warehouse, making it one of the earlier humanoid robots deployed commercially on a paid basis.
