Agility Robotics unveiled Digit 5, a humanoid robot that detects nearby workers and responds by moving away, stopping, or squatting to prevent collisions. The company plans to ship early units in the first half of 2027, potentially opening up warehouse and factory work without requiring isolated robot zones.
- Digit 5 uses autonomous safety responses—avoidance, stillness, or squatting—based on how close a human gets, eliminating the need for physical barriers or isolated work cells
- Agility's earlier Digit robots have logged over 65,000 hours across North American warehouses and factories with clients including GXO, Amazon, and Toyota
- Early access starts mid-2027, general availability by end of 2027, with production ramping at Agility's Salem, Oregon facility
