Agility Digit 5
Agility RoboticsHumanoid robotAnnounced
Digit 5 is the fifth-generation humanoid robot from Agility Robotics, unveiled on 15 September 2026; Agility says it is in development and gives its specifications as preliminary estimates from pre-production hardware. Agility states that it weighs 129 kg, stands 1.81 m, can repeatedly lift loads of up to 22.7 kg (50 lb), can reach heights of up to 2.2 m and uses a 90-minute battery that charges in 9 minutes. It adds safe human detection, safety cues and an independent safety controller, intended to let it work close to people without physical safety barriers, and swappable grippers with ISO-standard mounting flanges. Early access is expected in the first half of 2027 and general availability by the end of 2027; the previous generation, Digit 4, has worked at customer sites including GXO, Schaeffler, Amazon and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. Agility publishes no public SDK, ROS 2 package or robot model; fleets are managed through its Agility Arc cloud platform.

| SDK | Not published | No public Digit SDK or developer documentation found. The official GitHub organisation holds only an archived Cassie documentation repo and forks of infrastructure tools. A 2019 release described an API for the original Digit accessible onboard and via a wireless link; nothing public for Digit 5. | [17][18] |
