SUMMARY:

 

Digit is Agility Robotics’ commercial humanoid designed for real industrial work—especially in logistics, warehousing, and material handling. Standing 5'9" with a 35‑lb payload capacity, it navigates stairs, tight spaces, and human‑designed environments with ease thanks to its bipedal, bird‑inspired leg design. It’s already being tested in real facilities, including Amazon’s R&D labs.

 

EDITORIAL:

 

Digit represents one of the most practical approaches in the humanoid robotics race. While many companies chase human‑like dexterity or high‑speed locomotion, Agility Robotics focuses on something more immediate: deployable labor. Digit’s design is intentionally minimal—lightweight arms, efficient legs, and a sensor‑dense torso—optimized for repetitive, physically demanding tasks that dominate warehouses and distribution centers.

Its ability to walk stairs, navigate cluttered aisles, and carry 35‑lb loads makes it a direct plug‑in replacement for human workflows without requiring facility redesign. Combined with Agility’s cloud platform, Digit can operate as part of a coordinated fleet, taking on tasks like tote movement, sorting, and shelf replenishment.

Digit isn’t trying to be a sci‑fi humanoid—it’s trying to be useful. And in 2026, that practicality is exactly what the robotics industry needs.
