Agility Robotics’ Digit humanoid robot can now stand back up after falling. The company tested the robot at their lab, where engineers intentionally disabled the perception systems that would normally avoid/adjust to obstacles preventing Digit from falling.
They forced Digit to fall in a controlled environment to demonstrate its new self-righting and recovering ability. This humanoid robot is multi-purpose, so it’s capable of executing a variety of tasks and adapt to many different workflows. Since it’s also human-centric, it can be easily deployed into existing warehouse operations and as-built infrastructure without costly retrofitting.
- Build your own awesome, wearable mechanical hand that you operate with your own fingers.
- No motors, no batteries — just the power of air pressure, water, and your own hands!
- Hydraulic pistons enable the mechanical fingers to open and close and grip objects with enough force to lift them. Every finger joint can be adjusted...
Supply chains are still feeling the aftereffects of the pandemic, and the demand for warehouse labor far exceeds available talent. Companies are turning to automation now more than ever to help mitigate future disruptions. With logistics labor issues such as high turnover, burnout, and injury continuing to rise, we believe Digit to be the future of work,” said Damion Shelton, co-founder and CEO of Agility Robotics.
