Agility Robotics Digit is a bipedal humanoid robot specifically engineered for logistics and warehouse automation. Standing approximately 175 cm tall and weighing around 65 kg, Digit combines impressive walking capability with practical manipulation skills designed to handle real-world warehouse tasks. Unlike general-purpose platforms such as Tesla Optimus, Digit was purpose-built from its inception to address specific commercial needs in material handling and logistics.
First introduced in 2019, Digit has been incrementally refined and is the only humanoid robot currently generating revenue from paying customers. The company opened RoboFab in Salem, Oregon — the world's first full-scale humanoid robot manufacturing facility — with peak capacity to produce 10,000 robots annually. As of late 2025, Digit v4 is actively deployed at commercial facilities, with Digit v5 planned for late 2025/early 2026 featuring increased payload capacity (up to 50 lbs), improved battery life, and enhanced manipulation.
Digit has achieved major milestones in 2025: the robot moved over 100,000 totes at GXO's Flowery Branch facility by November 2025, validating industrial-scale deployment. Agility is also expanding its partnership with Amazon and pursuing ISO functional safety certification for human-collaborative operation, expected mid-to-late 2026. The robot's 16+ degrees of freedom are distributed strategically — optimizing the legs for walking on varied surfaces and the arms for picking, placing, and manipulating standard shipping containers and packages. Digit represents a different market segment from research-oriented platforms, prioritizing early commercialization and real-world deployment.
