Digit is different from previous robots by Agility Robotics because it has a head used for human-robot interactions and arms equipped to complete the first task Digit will perform.
With a head turned sideways, Digit is not anatomically humanoid, but its facial interface should give humans an understanding of Digit’s work. While the head is still a work in progress, commercial testing should help develop it shortly. Digit’s simplistic arms and hands are designed to complete one task: moving plastic bins (called totes) around a warehouse or a conveyor belt. Watch Digit accomplish his task here:
As you can see, Digit's task is rather simple and even boring for a human, which is why having robots like Digit do it instead of humans is a great idea. While teaching a robot to do this task isn’t easy, it allows robots to aid human workers in the same workspace readily. It also means companies won’t have to change the layout of the warehouse to accommodate Digit. In this way, Agility Robotics aims to introduce bipedal robots into the workplace in a rapid and sustainable way.
