Strengths and limitations
What works
- The longest track record of paid, in-production humanoid work
- Backward-bending legs are efficient and well suited to lifting totes
- Agility's Arc platform handles fleet management and warehouse integration
- Purpose-built for one job rather than promising everything
What does not
- Deliberately narrow: tote handling, not general-purpose work
- No purchase option and no published rate card
- Sensor head instead of a humanlike face limits some interactions
- 16 kg payload is modest for heavier logistics work

Frequently asked questions
Can you buy an Agility Digit?
Not outright. Agility sells Digit as a service: you pay for hours of operation, and the contract covers hardware, software, maintenance and support.
What does Digit actually do today?
Moves totes between conveyors, shelving and carts in live warehouses. It is deliberately narrow, and that focus is why it reached production use before more general humanoids.
