Agility Robotics

Agility Robotics’ flagship robot, Digit, is a humanoid robot built to augment the workforce in manufacturing and warehousing environments. Powered by advanced AI, The 5’9” mobile manipulation robot (MMR) can navigate complex workflows, interact with a variety of objects, and perform tasks with precision. The workflows Digit automates include loading and unloading put walls, sorting, tote recycling, moving items between AMRs and other machines (such as conveyors), and more. Digit’s work is orchestrated through Agility Arc, the company’s proprietary cloud platform for fleet monitoring and management.

Agility’s business model supports two pricing options: Customers can buy Digit (or a fleet of Digits) outright as a conventional equipment purchase. But they can also acquire Digit through a robots-as-a-service (RaaS) model. Under this model—in which Digit becomes a recurring operating expense—Agility’s all-inclusive package includes the robots, their accompanying software, accessories (e.g., control pendants, work cell equipment, end effectors, and charging stations), and additional services such as support and maintenance.

“The RaaS model allows for maximum flexibility while minimizing the time it takes to deploy a fleet,” says Pete Allen, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Agility. “Deploying Digit requires minimal infrastructure changes in part because its humanoid form means it navigates spaces in the same way human workers already do. That’s why it serves this business model particularly well—allowing us to support additional robots for peak demand, for example, so customers can rapidly scale up and down.”
