Made for work

What is Human-Centric Robotics?

Humanoid and human-centric robotics

Imagine a new take on the term "workforce," where a fleet of robots assist human co-workers, freeing them to focus on inherently human tasks like decision making and creativity. Imagine true workforce flexibility, where robots learn and perform a variety of tasks, and swap places with another robot or person during peak loads. Imagine robots thoughtfully designed to be helpful and approachable, constructed to work beside people, in spaces built for people.

At Agility Robotics, the team makes robots that are made for work. Their robot Digit works alongside them in spaces designed for people. Digit handles the boring and repetitive tasks that are meant for a machine, which allows companies and their people to focus on the work that requires the human element.

Robots like Digit are purpose-built to do tasks in environments made for humans. They aren't trying to just mimic the look of people or make a humanoid robot.
Every design and engineering decision is looked at through a function-first lens. To easily walk into warehouses and work alongside people, to do the kinds of dynamic reaching, carrying, and walking that humans do, Digit has some similar characteristics.
