Agility Robotics develops mobile manipulation robots and automation solutions, with its most notable product being the humanoid robot, Digit. Digit works in conjunction with Agility Arc, a cloud-based automation platform, to assist businesses in sectors like logistics, manufacturing, retail, eCommerce, and distribution. These robots are designed to work alongside human employees, enhancing productivity by taking on labor-intensive tasks, allowing humans to focus on more complex activities. Unlike many competitors, Agility Robotics emphasizes human-robot collaboration, aiming to optimize operations rather than replace human workers. The company's goal is to enable humans to be more human by improving efficiency in the workplace through the integration of their robotic solutions.
