THE CHALLENGE
As a society, we face an unprecedented dilemma. From one end, we have grown accustomed to depending on services for every major necessity of life. From the other end, all these services are provided by relying on labor, which is becoming increasingly scarce. Today, every major sector of our economy is facing labor shortages.
The Gap Continues to Grow
Digit is ready to walk into existing facilities and help augment the workforce.
People are the most valuable resources of our economy, yet we are faced with so many roles that exert the limits of our physical limitations and don’t leverage our unique strengths as humans. This, combined with the aging population and the decrease in birth rates in most countries has exerted tremendous pressure on our industries, which is set to only get worse in years to come.
We believe in a future where people and robots can co-exist, where robots can take over the dull, dangerous, dirty, and repetitive tasks demanded by the industry, while people do what people do best; elevate our society with creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, strategic thinking, and human compassion.
The Agility Vision
Agility Robotics was founded with one major goal in mind: Enable Humans to Be More Human. We do this by building robots that provide real, tangible value (made for work) to empower companies to take control of their processes (solve real problems), leverage their resources efficiently (human-robot collaboration), and have a positive benefit for our society.
We are convinced that the best way to get there is to provide end-to-end solutions. By solutions, we do not only refer to robots, but to the combination of hardware (robots, accessories, industrial equipment), software (AI, robot software, automation platform, integrations), and services (design, commission, operation, changeover, support), that are tailored towards solving industry-specific problems in an effective and reliable manner.
Each step of the way will provide more and more value for our customers. Down the line, our goal is for Agility to provide the first commercial App Store for Labor. An ecosystem of solutions, powered by a general-purpose robot, that are field-proven, built for value, and have been optimized to a point where deploying automation is as simple as installing an app.
How to Get There
Our initial focus is to solve material movement use cases in logistics and manufacturing, particularly the manipulation, movement, and placement of totes and cases. These industries are facing significant labor shortages, and are plagued by operations that are repetitive, taxing, and injury-prone.

Our roadmap is designed following a building block approach. Each new skill builds on the last.
New Digit Skills with AI
Agility Robotics stands at the forefront of robotics innovation, seamlessly merging high-performance physical design with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence technology. At the heart of our approach is the use of proprietary actuation technology alongside sophisticated sensor-fusion and carefully-designed robot dynamics, ensuring unmatched physical performance.
We don't stop there; Agility Robotics is pioneering the use of reinforcement-learning and generative AI models to refine and enhance our robot's capabilities, enabling it to acquire and hone useful skills over time. Our integration of large language models for natural language commands allows for intuitive and effective human-robot interactions. This combination of cutting-edge AI with robust physical engineering ensures that Agility Robotics remains a leader in developing robots that are not only physically capable but also intelligently adaptive to a wide range of tasks and environments.
Our Solution Today Includes:
Digit, the most advanced Mobile Manipulator Robot (MMR) on the market. Digit has been designed to ensure it can effectively handle typical payloads found in most logistics and manufacturing operations.
Agility Arc, our state-of-the-art cloud automation platform to build and manage Digit’s workflows, drastically simplifying design, commissioning, operation, and support of Digit fleets.
Arc accessories, designed and selected to perfectly complement Digit and ensure robots operate in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner.
