Agility Robotics/Digit

Agility Robotics has chosen Nyobolt, a Cambridge (UK) battery developer, as the battery technology partner for its Digit 5 humanoid. The companies say the pack gives 90 minutes of runtime per charge and recharges in nine minutes, a 10:1 run-to-charge ratio against 2:1 on Digit 4. Early access is expected in the first half of 2027.

• Run-to-charge ratio of 10:1, up from 2:1 on Digit 4; the companies claim more than 20 hours of productive work in a 24-hour day.
• Pack capacity, charging power and cycle life were not disclosed, so the fleet economics cannot yet be checked.
• Early access to Digit 5 with the Nyobolt battery is expected to start in the first half of 2027, with wider availability over the following six to nine months.
• All performance figures are company claims; the article gives no independent test method.
