Agility Digit v5

Digit v5 is the fifth generation of the bipedal humanoid robot from Agility Robotics (Albany/Salem, Oregon), released in 2025. Agility Robotics is a pioneer in commercial humanoid deployments — it mass-produces Digit at the RoboFab factory in Salem, Oregon, the world's first humanoid robot factory. Digit v5 incorporates lessons from real Amazon logistics deployments and introduces three key improvements over v4: a lighter frame (-10% weight), smoother 1.6 m/s gait, and new, more precise hands capable of handling irregular package shapes.

Specifications

The robot stands 175 cm tall and weighs approximately 59 kg (10% less than v4 at 65 kg). It has 30 degrees of freedom and achieves a walking speed of up to 1.6 m/s. Arm payload is 16 kg. The robot is equipped with a LiDAR for 3D mapping and navigation and four Intel RealSense depth cameras. The distinctive reverse-knee leg geometry, inspired by ostrich biomechanics, provides energy-efficient, stable locomotion in human-scale environments — narrow aisles, stairs, and uneven floors.

AI and control: VLA from Amazon Robotics AI

Digit v5 integrates a multi-task VLA (Vision-Language-Action model) developed in collaboration with Amazon Robotics AI. The model generalises across multiple task types — shelf-pick, tote-transfer and bin-sort — without needing individual fine-tuning for each task. The compute platform is NVIDIA's AI acceleration platform (NVIDIA Isaac Lab for reinforcement learning in simulation, NVIDIA Isaac Sim for virtual training environments), which significantly accelerates the learning of new behaviours.

Commercial deployments

Digit is commercially deployed or in pilots with several partners. Amazon tests the robots in its logistics centres, where Digit handles tote-transfer tasks. GXO Logistics (since 2024) deploys Digit for similar warehouse tasks. Schaeffler (automotive/robotics) uses Digit in manufacturing and leverages NVIDIA Omniverse / Mega Blueprint for factory digital twins. Toyota (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada) signed a robots-as-a-service agreement announced in February 2026. Mercado Libre (Latin American e-commerce) signed an agreement with Agility Robotics announced in December 2025.

Fleet management: Agility Arc

Digit v5 fleet management is handled by Agility Arc — a cloud-based multi-robot coordination system. Arc handles task scheduling, real-time status monitoring and OTA updates. The platform supports ROS 2 through the Agility Robotics SDK.

Path to public markets

In June 2026 Agility Robotics announced plans to go public through a SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, valuing Agility at approximately $2.5B. Total funding raised by Agility exceeds $641M.
