Agility Robotics' Digit v5 humanoid robot to work safely alongside humans

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Agility Robotics is set to release its Digit v5 humanoid robot in December, designed to work cooperatively and safely alongside humans without the need for safety cages. This new iteration boasts a 20-hour operational capacity and enhanced manipulation capabilities, including the ability to autonomously swap end effectors. The primary innovation lies in its advanced safety features, which utilize sophisticated sensors and algorithms to detect and react to human presence, addressing a key barrier to widespread humanoid robot deployment in industrial and commercial settings.
