Agility Robotics unveiled Digit 5, its new humanoid robot designed to work near people without the physical barriers used in traditional automation.
When it detects someone nearby, the robot can move away, stop or assume a seated position, while an independent safety controller limits motion at unsafe distances. Digit 5 can repeatedly lift up to 22.7 kilograms and is scheduled for early access in the first half of 2027, followed by general availability later that year.
