Agility Robotics revealed the latest version of its bipedal robot, Digit, which now comes with a head, eyes, and redesigned hands that allow the machine to pick up the plastic totes often used inside warehouses.
Agility Robotics has taken the wraps off its next-gen bipedal bot, which comes with some noticeable upgrades — namely, a cylindrical head and two animated LED “eyes.” In a press release, the company says it made the changes to its warehouse-friendly bot, called Digit, to improve “human robot interaction.” Agility Robotics first introduced the once-headless Digit in 2020, marketing the machine as useful in a wide range of industries, such as logistics, industrial inspection, and telepresence.
A company spokesperson tells TechCrunch that its sensor-equipped head should make it easier for humans to understand Digit’s actions, as its eyes “will help convey useful information like changing direction and other actions while at work.” It also comes with some redesigned end effectors, or hands, that should make it easier to pick up the plastic totes used inside warehouses. For now, though, Digit’s abilities remain fairly limited.
