Agility Robotics focuses on mobile manipulation robots for logistics and manufacturing

Agility Robotics, led by CTO Melanie Wise, is focusing on the development of mobile manipulation robots for the logistics and manufacturing industries. Their humanoid robot, Digit, has been designed to handle loading and unloading tasks, particularly in scenarios where there are islands of automation that require connectivity. The company is engaging with customers to demonstrate the capabilities of Digit in real-world applications, and they aim to showcase more videos of the robot in action. While some companies in the field are exploring dextrous manipulation and high-degree-of-freedom hands, Agility Robotics believes that non-dextrous manipulation solutions can be just as effective and reliable for many use cases in logistics and manufacturing.
