Agility Digit v5

Agility Digit 5 — Advanced Humanoid Robot for Industrial Automation

The Agility Digit 5 is a next-generation humanoid robot designed for industrial environments where automation needs to work alongside people, existing machinery and changing workflows.

Developed by Agility Robotics, Digit 5 combines physical AI, autonomous mobility, human detection, adaptable manipulation and industrial-grade hardware into a humanoid platform designed for manufacturing, warehousing and logistics.

Built for Real Industrial Work

Digit 5 is designed to move beyond single-purpose automation.

Its physical AI system is intended to allow the robot to learn and perform a growing range of workflows, from material handling and machine tending to kitting, sequencing, inspection and palletizing.

The platform can also coordinate with existing warehouse and manufacturing systems through Agility’s fleet-management ecosystem.

Heavy-Duty Payload Capability

Digit 5 is engineered to repeatedly lift loads of up to 50 lb (22.7 kg).

This represents a 40% increase in payload capability compared with the previous generation and is designed to cover many repetitive lifting tasks performed in industrial facilities.

Long Work-to-Charge Ratio

Digit 5 introduces a new battery system with approximately 90 minutes of runtime and a rapid charging cycle of approximately 9 minutes under Agility’s stated specifications.

This creates a 10:1 run-to-charge ratio, with Agility targeting more than 20 hours of productive work within a 24-hour period under its operating model.

Human-Scale Dimensions

Digit 5 is designed around a human-scale footprint so it can navigate environments already built for people.

Height: 1.81 m / 5.11 ft

Weight: 129 kg / 284 lb

Maximum reach: 2.2 m / 7.2 ft

Its physical dimensions are intended to allow the robot to work within existing aisles, doorways, workstations and shelving environments.

Cooperative Safety

A major feature of Digit 5 is its cooperative safety architecture.

The robot uses proprietary AI-based human detection and multiple sensor technologies to monitor its surroundings.

When a person enters an unsafe distance, Digit 5 is designed to take appropriate actions such as avoiding, stopping or assuming a seated position.

The system also incorporates visual and auditory safety cues and an independent safety controller.

Agility describes the architecture as being designed to allow operation in close proximity to people without relying on traditional physical barriers.

Swappable End-Effectors

Digit 5 uses a modular gripper system with ISO-standard mounting flanges.

This allows different tools or end-effectors to be used for different workflows.

A single robot can therefore be configured for tasks such as:

• Tote handling
• Machine tending
• Material manipulation
• Kitting
• Sequencing
• Palletizing
• Other specialized industrial workflows

Physical AI

Digit 5 is designed around Agility’s physical AI approach.

Rather than being limited to a single repetitive movement, the platform is intended to expand its capabilities through additional trained behaviors and workflows.

Agility reports that Digit’s previous commercial deployments have accumulated more than 65,000 hours of real-world operational experience, providing data used to develop the next generation.

Enterprise Integration

Digit 5 integrates with Agility Arc, Agility’s cloud-based fleet-management platform.

Arc provides operational visibility and fleet-management capabilities while supporting integration with existing:

• Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
• Warehouse Execution Systems (WES)
• Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
• Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
• Conveyor systems
• Other facility automation

Designed for Industrial Workflows

Digit 5 is intended for applications including:

Manufacturing

Automating repetitive material-handling and machine-tending workflows.

Warehousing

Handling totes, goods and repetitive movement tasks.

Logistics

Supporting material movement, sequencing and palletizing.

Quality Operations

Supporting inspection workflows as products move through facilities.

Kitting

Handling and sequencing components for downstream operations.
