  • The listing (ticker AGLT) should raise about $620M. Contracted Digit v5 orders top $300M.
  • Digit v5 is built to work safely near people without fences, a safety approval the field is waiting for.

Technical approach

As reported
Legs

Legs built for efficient walking

Digit's legs come from the Cassie research robot. Springy, backward-bending legs make walking efficient and hard to knock over.

Tasks

One job, done over and over

Digit moves totes between conveyors, shelves and carts with simple grippers, not hands. Less flexible, but more reliable today.

Software

Arc fleet platform

Arc links Digit fleets to warehouse software, hands out work and tracks uptime, which is what customers pay for.

Safety

Safe near people

Digit v5 has built-in safety features so it can share space with people, needed before it can leave fenced areas.

  • Safety rules for balancing robotsActive research

    A walking robot can't just freeze when it sees a person, or it falls. Safety standards for this are still being written.

  • Cost per taskOpen

    Digit must move totes as cheaply as conveyors and wheeled robots, while being more flexible.
