Digit
Last updated:
Digit, developed by Agility Robotics, is a groundbreaking humanoid robot designed to work alongside humans in environments built for people. Standing 5'9" tall and weighing 143 pounds, Digit walks upright on two legs with bird-like agility, allowing it to navigate stairs, tight corridors, and uneven ground. Its lightweight arms with four degrees of freedom enable it to lift and move packages up to 35 pounds, making it ideal for repetitive logistics tasks like tote retrieval and warehouse stacking. Digit is powered by onboard computers, uses LiDAR and depth cameras for navigation, and connects to the Agility Arc cloud platform for autonomous task coordination and fleet management. With a modular design, it can be customized for a wide range of industrial applications. Digit isn’t just a robot—it’s a step toward blending robotics into everyday human workflows, tackling labor shortages while enhancing efficiency and safety in real-world workplaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What is Digit, and what problem is it designed to solve?
Digit is a bipedal humanoid robot from Agility Robotics designed to perform repetitive, physical material‑handling tasks in human‑centric environments, aiming to reduce manual strain and integrate into existing workflows according to the manufacturer.
Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of Digit?
Digit combines legged mobility, arm-based manipulation, an array of sensors (LiDAR and depth cameras), and onboard compute to navigate stairs and tight spaces and handle payloads in warehouse and logistics tasks, according to Agility Robotics.
Q3. Who is Digit built for, and which industries can benefit from it?
Digit is built for logistics, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing operators that require autonomous material movement and repetitive task automation, with potential applicability in field service and last‑mile delivery contexts noted by observers.
Q4. Is Digit a commercial product or still a research prototype?
Digit is a commercial product offered by Agility Robotics for operational deployments, having evolved from earlier research platforms into units intended for commercial use.
Q5. Is Digit currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?
The company offers Digit through commercial channels and reported early customer deliveries; shipping timelines depend on distributor fulfillment and order queues rather than a single public ship date.
Q6. What is the current price of Digit, and what does the purchase include?
Agility Robotics offers Digit under commercial purchasing models that may include capital purchase or service agreements; the company provides configuration, integration, and fleet management options rather than a single published retail price.
Q7. When was Digit announced or officially launched?
Digit was unveiled following Agility Robotics’ earlier research platforms and has been publicly demonstrated since 2019, with subsequent commercialization and product refinements announced in later years.
Q8. How is Digit different from other robots in the same category?
Digit’s distinguishing elements include bipedal locomotion with reverse‑joint legs for human‑space mobility, integrated manipulation arms, and a perception stack tailored for human‑designed facilities, which together enable operation in stairs and narrow aisles compared with many wheeled systems.
Q9. Does Digit require additional development or customization after purchase?
Deployments typically require system integration, task‑specific configuration, and site validation—Agility offers integration services and fleet management tools to customize Digit for particular workflows.
Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for Digit?
The company announced plans to expand commercial capabilities—such as extended battery and autonomous docking, enhanced safety features, and fleet management improvements—and aims to broaden availability from early deployments toward wider commercial adoption.
