Agility’s new humanoid robot will stop, squat to avoid harming human coworkers
Ars Technica 1 month ago 21
Agility Robotics debuted Digit 5, its first humanoid robot designed to take safety precautions around human coworkers. The robot can squat into a seated position when a person approaches too closely, in addition to avoiding the person or standing still. This changes how the robot can be deployed by enabling warehouse and automotive factory use without isolated work cells and physical separation barriers.
