This is Digit. Made for Work.

Imagine robots thoughtfully designed to be helpful and approachable, constructed to work beside people, in spaces built for people. That’s Digit.

Our bi-pedal robot is designed to work alongside humans in just about any environment. Digit can take on tasks that are too repetitive, physically demanding, or dangerous for the humans it works with.

A frequent observation is that Digit is fairly unimposing in terms of stature. That’s intentional. 

Digit is sized to be smaller in scale than most robots for human safety. Digit was created to operate in warehouse settings where leading causes of injury often involve heavy machinery like forklifts or the loading or unloading of heavy objects.

Creative hardware design gives Digit the flexibility and adaptability needed to seamlessly integrate into the workplace. Fully functioning legs, arms, and a slim torso are the anatomical building blocks it uses to perform tasks. 

Just like people, Digit adjusts its posture and shifts its center of gravity when carrying objects of different sizes and weights. It can lean forward and reach out its arms, or bend down, to pick up a box or tote.

Digit’s sensors are continuously reading surface planes, perceiving its surroundings and the ground. This advanced perception and early intelligence allows it to decide the most efficient course of action to complete a task and quickly respond to obstacles. 

Digit’s integrated visualizer shows how it perceives its environment digitally. In other words, how it views its world. Through this lens, it can envision a task, calculate the most efficient means to accomplish it, and predict incoming obstacles.

Digit’s hardware design is developed in concert with our software to ensure both are optimized to complement each other. Digit can learn how to perform a variety of functions, move smoothly and safely around its work environment, even navigating constrained spaces, and modify its behavior to take into account nearby human activities.
