Agility Robotics has upgraded its humanoid robot Digit, with expanded battery capabilities which run more efficiently and last up to four hours. New robust limbs and end effectors give Digit a wider range of grasping angles.
Digit can autonomously dispatch an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to deliver items to their next location, such as packout stations. This level of autonomy reduces the need for constant human intervention, allowing workers to focus on more complex tasks.
Agility’s Arc cloud robotic platform now can deploy and talk with AMRs and their corresponding platforms by calling and dispatching AMRs to the task at hand.
Digit’s latest version also has new safety features that adhere to safety standards for industrial mobile robots, such as a Category 1, or CAT1 stop, which involves maintaining power to the machine actuators during the deceleration process, allowing the machine to stop smoothly and safely, before removing power. Digit’s enhanced user interface now features at-a-glance, front and back displays that help monitor Wi-Fi status, connectivity, connection to Agility Arc, battery levels and maintenance ports.
