Daimon One by Daimon Robotics vs Agile ONE by Agile Robots

Daimon One lists dimensions of 60 cm x 40 cm x 180 cm and a weight of 75 kg, indicating a relatively tall, narrow humanoid form factor intended for industrial and service environments. Agile ONE is reported at 174 cm height with estimated 50 cm shoulder width and 35 cm depth and a weight of 69 kg, reflecting a slightly lighter build with emphasis on dexterous end effectors and stability for manipulation tasks[1][2].

Daimon One supports SLAM, GPS and LiDAR for navigation and has a modest top speed of 1.5 km/h, suitable for careful industrial tasks and teleoperation scenarios. Agile ONE emphasizes LiDAR-based spatial recognition and visual SLAM with higher reported locomotion speed (2.0 m/s / 7.2 km/h), indicating prioritization of faster autonomous movement for logistics and material transport on the factory floor[2].

Daimon One lists vision-based tactile sensors, RGB and depth cameras, IMU, force sensors and proximity sensors, combining tactile and visual sensing for assembly and teleoperation. Agile ONE features four head-mounted RGB cameras, LiDAR, proximity sensors, fingertip tactile sensors, force-torque sensors in every hand joint, IMU, gyroscope, joint position and torque sensors—highlighting denser hand and joint sensing for fine manipulation and dexterous tasks[2].

Daimon One offers AI autonomous control plus teleoperation and provides ROS 2 and C++/Python APIs for custom autonomy and integration. Agile ONE runs on the proprietary AgileCore platform with a layered AI architecture (strategic reasoning, rapid response, fine motor precision) and learned behaviors from industrial datasets, and supports natural language instruction capability for higher-level tasking[2].

Daimon One specifies a 4-year battery lifespan metric (likely referring to expected battery lifetime or warranty interval) rather than short-term runtime figures, emphasizing longevity for deployed systems. Agile ONE lists an estimated battery life of 2–3 years, suggesting comparable multi-year battery longevity expectations though exact runtime per charge is not provided for either platform[2].

Daimon One’s stated use cases include industrial automation, research and development, precision assembly, service robotics and teleoperation, aligning with its ROS 2 support and multiple control modes for customization. Agile ONE targets factory floor material gathering and transport, pick-and-place, machine tending, tool use and precision assembly, reflecting its emphasis on dextrous hands, layered AI, and production-line integration[2][1].

Daimon One provides an open stack with ROS 2, Linux-based OS and C++/Python APIs to enable integration with existing robotics toolchains and custom research development. Agile ONE relies on the proprietary AgileCore AI platform and a layered AI stack designed for industrial integration and coordinated behaviors, which may offer turnkey capabilities but less open-source flexibility[2].

Daimon One includes emergency stop, obstacle avoidance, collision detection and force limiters as listed safety measures appropriate for human-adjacent industrial work. Agile ONE incorporates proximity sensors, force-limiting capability, collision detection and expressive visual cues (responsive eyes and chest display) intended to improve human awareness and interaction on the shop floor[2][1].

Daimon One is listed between $150,000 and $250,000, reflecting a configurable industrial platform with open software support. Agile ONE has an estimated price around US$100,000, positioning it lower in sticker price while emphasizing dexterous hands and a proprietary AI stack for industrial tasks[2].
