Agility Robotics unveiled Digit 5, the latest version of its warehouse humanoid, built for industrial work and safer operation near people. The company says its Digit robots have now logged more than 65,000 operating hours across nine customer facilities, naming GXO, Schaeffler, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Mercado Libre as commercial customers.
According to Agility's own deployment data, Digit can work autonomously in a defined warehouse cell, picking totes from one conveyor and placing them on another without an operator stepping in during the cycle.
What it means: humanoid robots are crossing from demonstrations into paid, repetitive work in tightly defined tasks. The interesting number is not the robot's specs but the operating hours in real customer sites, which is what separates a product from a prototype.
