Digit

Agility Robotics · MSRP $250,000 (Industrial pilots only, not consumer available)

Proven L3 conditional autonomy in logistics warehouses, but deployment scope narrowly constrained to supervised, mapped facilities. Commercial deployment validates bipedal form factor for material handling; generalist capability remains out of reach.

Framework

Pre-release method →

Applies until the product ships.

Promising form factor with proven conditional autonomy in logistics pilots, offset by enterprise-only distribution and narrow operational scope. Agility's track record and commercial deployment validate engineering; consumer availability timeline and generalist capability remain unaddressed.

Open questions before a Robovations Score can be computed
  • Consumer availability and pricing timeline
  • Generalization capability beyond pre-trained warehouse task sets
  • Long-term reliability data across diverse facility types and climates
  • Maintenance cost amortization models for logistics operators
  • Competitive roadmap against wheeled platforms and upcoming humanoid entrants

Ownership & reliability

How it holds up after the purchase.

Owner reports · manufacturer documentation

Stable 18-month track record in Amazon and GXO deployments; hydraulic and sensor degradation primary concerns.

Consistent performance within design parameters. Hydraulic leak common after 6-12 months in high-utilization; sensor fogging occasional in dusty warehouses. Operator feedback confirms reliable task execution on established workflows.

Common questions

What buyers actually ask.

7 answered
Operation
Does Digit's commercial deployment with Amazon mean it is fully autonomous?
Commercial deployments demonstrate conditional autonomy within supervised warehouse contexts. Manufacturer statements and operator reports confirm Digit executes pre-trained picking and sorting under human oversight. Supervision and exception-handling by facility staff remain required; unsupervised operation is not deployed.
Operation
When will Digit be available for consumer purchase?
Digit operates exclusively through enterprise partnerships with logistics operators. No consumer availability or direct-purchase path is documented. Agility Robotics maintains enterprise-only distribution with custom deployment agreements.
Ownership
What is the actual maintenance commitment for Digit deployment?
Daily visual inspections, weekly hydraulic pressure testing and actuator diagnostics, monthly joint lubrication and sensor calibration, and quarterly-to-annual fluid and seal replacements are standard. Maintenance burden exceeds wheeled logistics platforms significantly.
Operation
Can Digit adapt to new warehouse layouts without retraining?
Current systems require reconfiguration or onsite retraining for significant layout changes or new task types. Agility documentation indicates Digit operates within pre-trained behavioral parameters. Cross-facility deployment involves customization work rather than immediate capability transfer.
Operation
What happens when Digit encounters an unexpected obstacle or failure?
The robot halts or reverts to safe state and signals operators. Manufacturer design emphasizes supervised operation with human intervention as the primary failure-recovery mechanism. Unattended recovery from sensor loss or hydraulic failure is not a design feature.
Comparison
How does Digit compare to wheeled material-handling robots in speed and efficiency?
Bipedal locomotion provides navigation flexibility through unmodified warehouse infrastructure but operates at slower throughput than purpose-built wheeled systems. Trade-off prioritizes facility adaptability over raw task velocity.
Operation
What is Digit's role relative to human warehouse workers?
Operator and manufacturer documentation position Digit as a task-focused complement, not replacement. Amazon and GXO deployments show Digit handling specific picking workflows while humans manage exception-handling, quality control, and dynamic reassignment.
