### Background On 15 September 2026, Agility unveiled Digit 5, the fifth generation of its logistics humanoid. The core promise is "cooperative safety": the ability to work outside a fenced cell, alongside operators. The robot relies on NVIDIA's IGX Thor and Halos platforms for this. Digit 4 logged more than 65,000 operating hours at North American customers including GXO, Schaeffler, Amazon and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. At GXO, near Atlanta, it passed the 100,000-tote milestone. ### Specifications | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Height | 1.81 m | | Weight | 129 kg | | Maximum reach | 2.2 m | | Payload | 22.7 kg (50 lb) | | Runtime | 90 minutes | | Charging | 9 minutes (10:1 ratio) | ### Why it matters Working without physical barriers is the condition for humanoids to leave isolated zones and fit into existing flows. Agility claims more than $300 million in multi-year orders for Digit 5 (as of May 2026), subject to contractual milestones. ### Key takeaway Early access is planned for the first half of 2027 and general availability by the end of 2027. The announcement comes as Agility prepares its stock market listing.
