Digit is a bipedal humanoid robot developed by Agility Robotics in 2019. It features a unique leg design for dynamic movement and is equipped with sensors and onboard computing for navigation and task execution. Digit is fully autonomous but can also be teleoperated, making it suitable for industrial and research applications.

The robot is designed to assist in logistics and manufacturing, where labor shortages are a challenge. It can perform repetitive tasks such as moving packages and sorting inventory. Companies including GXO Logistics and Amazon have tested Digit in warehouse operations, exploring its potential for automation.

Agility Robotics estimates a two-year return on investment (ROI) based on the cost comparison with a human worker earning $30 per hour. Currently, Digit operates in designated work areas, but future plans include integration alongside human workers by 2025.

Development continues to improve Digit’s mobility and adaptability. As automation grows in industrial settings, humanoid robots like Digit are being evaluated for their role in improving efficiency and workplace operations.
