"After evaluating a number of robots, we are excited to deploy Digit to improve the team member experience and further increase operational efficiency in our manufacturing facilities,"
"When the tech companies spend real time in the field understanding the task that needs to be operated, the real workflows that happens...that's when we will see a huge uptick in adoption,"
"Cost of deployment ... can be more than the price of the robot by a lot,"
"AI tools let us decrease that cost of deployment, decrease the amount of t"
Seven Digit humanoid robots from Agility Robotics were hired by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada under a robots-as-a-service arrangement to unload totes of auto parts in a RAV4 SUV plant. Digit is designed to operate in industrial settings, often bridging different automated production lines and working without humans nearby. Real-world deployment remains rare and complex due to workflow integration, maintenance, and charging requirements. Agility serves logistics customers like GXO, Schaeffler, and Amazon and provides a cloud management platform called Arc. Artificial intelligence is positioned to lower deployment costs, which can exceed the robot purchase price.
