Agility Robotics Unveils Digit 5, Its First Cooperatively Safe Humanoid
- Agility unveiled Digit 5 on 15 September 2026, describing it as its first humanoid engineered for cooperatively safe work at scale, able to work close to people without the physical barriers traditional automation needs[1][3]
- The safety architecture combines proprietary human detection (the robot avoids, stops or sits down), visual and audio motion cues, and an independent safety controller; Agility is the first launch partner for NVIDIA's Halos for Robotics platform on NVIDIA IGX Thor[1]
- Hardware changes: a lifting capacity of up to 50 lb (40% more), a 90-minute battery that charges in 9 minutes for more than 20 productive hours a day, swappable ISO-flange grippers, a weight of 284 lb and a height of 5 ft 11 in, with a reach of up to 7.2 ft (up from 5.5 ft)[1]
- Agility says Digit 4 has logged more than 65,000 hours at customers including GXO, Schaeffler, Amazon and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, and that, as of May 2026, it held more than $300 million of multi-year Digit 5 orders subject to contractual milestones[1][2]
- In August Agility's Chief Business Officer told Forbes that early-customer deployments of Digit v5 would begin in December; the 20-hour and cage-free claims come from the company, not independent tests[4]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
