Humanoid robots on production and warehouse floors have usually needed the same protective barriers that keep traditional automation away from people. Agility Robotics' Digit 5, the fifth generation of Digit, is a general-purpose humanoid robot with safety architecture that continuously monitors for people and responds when someone comes within an unsafe distance. That lets one robot work closely with operators and other industrial automation anywhere in a facility.

It's designed to rely less on physical barriers, so that a single robot can share the aisles, shelves, and workstations built for human workers.

Digit 5 is built to take repetitive lifting and physical strain off operators. Since it's not dedicated to a single station, it can be redeployed as a facility's workflows change. It's trained on more than 65,000 hours of real-world operating data from earlier Digit deployments, and there's a service program designed to maximize uptime.

Early access is expected in the first half of 2027, with general availability expected by the end of 2027.

Features:

• Payload: up to 50 lb (22.7 kg), repeated lifts
• Weight: 284 lb (129 kg)
• Height: 5 ft 11 in. (1.81 m)
• Reach: up to 7.2 ft (2.2 m), up from 5.5 ft (1.68 m) on Digit 4
• Runtime: 90 minutes/charge
• Charge time: 9 minutes, autonomous charging
• Run-to-charge ratio: 10:1, up from 2:1 on Digit 4; more than 20 h of work in a 24-h day
• End-effectors: swappable grippers with ISO-standard mounting flanges
• Human detection: AI algorithms and multiple sensor technologies; robot autonomously avoids, stops, or moves to a seated position
• Visual and auditory safety cues that signal motion intent to nearby people
• Independent safety controller that triggers safety responses when people come within an unsafe distance
• Safety architecture developed on NVIDIA IGX Thor and Halos Core infrastructure
• Leg design for repetitive lifting, driven by cycloidal actuators
• Onboard cameras, depth sensors, and inertial measurement units, with sensor data processed locally
• Robot management platform coordinates handoffs with existing AMRs, conveyors, and warehouse systems
• Agility Arc cloud fleet management: uptime, throughput, and Mean Time Between Incidents KPIs; connects with WMS, WES, and MES
• Data security: end-to-end encryption, mTLS and TLS 1.2+ with a private certificate authority, customer-segregated data, and encrypted on-robot storage
• Certifications: CE mark and additional regulatory marks expected for the EU, Great Britain, and Northern Ireland
