Agility Robotics co-founder Jonathan Hurst announced the release of the Digit 5 humanoid robot, positioned as a robot that can safely and economically take on real work at scale, with a focus on warehouse material-handling tasks alongside human coworkers. The Digit 5 weighs over 120 kg in total, can repeatedly lift 23 kg totes and reach shelves 1.75 meters high, is designed to work 20 hours per day, and its battery can charge to 90 minutes of runtime in 9 minutes. The company says it is the first humanoid robot that can work safely alongside human coworkers: when a person approaches, it stops its motion, sets down its load, sits on the ground and cuts power to its motors.
