Agility Robotics unveils Digit 5 robot built to work safely beside people

Agility Robotics unveiled Digit 5 on September 15, 2026, its first humanoid engineered for cooperatively safe work at scale, the company said. The Oregon firm says an array of sensors lets the robot detect nearby people and slow down, enabling close-proximity work. Real proof will be false-positive rates and uptime in live warehouses, not lab demos.
