Agility Robotics has introduced Digit 5, a new humanoid robot designed for safe collaboration with human workers in industrial settings such as warehouses. settings. The robot is engineered to operate without physical safety barriers by using uses vision-based sensors and proprietary AI algorithms, powered by an Nvidia Thor IGX chip, to detect human presence. To prevent accidents, the system can autonomously slow down, stop, or assume a seated position. Digit 5 is intended for tasks including part sorting, inspection, and material loading. The company currently operates robots at various customer facilities, including sites for Toyota, GXO Logistics, Schaeffler AG, and Amazon. While Agility Robotics reported a $140 million operating loss for 2025, the company noted it has approximately $300 million in multiyear orders and is preparing for a public merger valued at $2.5 billion. Recent technical Technical specifications for Digit 5 highlight include a redesigned leg system using proprietary cycloidal actuators and a maximum payload capacity of 50 pounds (22.7 kilograms), representing a 40% increase over previous models. Standing 1.81 meters tall and weighing approximately 129 kilograms, the robot it is designed to navigate human-centric workspaces like aisles and doorways without facility modifications. A significant advancement is a new battery system developed with Nyobolt, which provides providing a 10:1 ratio between operating time and charging time. The time; the robot can operate for roughly 90 minutes and requires only about 9 minutes of charging. By utilizing these short cycles during operational pauses, Agility Robotics estimates the robot could achieve charging, potentially allowing for more than 20 hours of productive work within in a 24-hour period. This upgrade represents a substantial improvement over While the Digit 4, which had company reported a 2:1 ratio. Early trials $140 million operating loss for Digit 5 are 2025, it holds approximately $300 million in multiyear orders and is preparing for a public merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, valued at $2.5 billion, expected to begin close in the first half fourth quarter of 2027, with supply expanding in the following six 2026. Agility plans to nine months. expand operations into Europe early next year. New deployment agreements include GXO Logistics, which will expand to two additional centers in 2027, and AGCO, which will test robots at its Kansas factory for assembly and production support.
