Digit hasn’t had to run during customer deployments yet, but those humanoid marathon videos really got it inspired. The only way to prove if simulated policies actually translate is to just do it.

Unlike statically stable #robots, a dynamically balanced robot can shift its center of mass to accommodate loads without tipping over. Getting #Digit to stand on one leg pushes the limits of our sim-to-real pipeline training methodologies – even the slightest model mismatches can lead to instability.
The more Digit lifts, the more coordination our controller needs and resilience our hardware requires. We build new objects in sim so that we can account for load distribution, grip forces, and center of mass changes – resulting in a policy that translates to the real world. #liftingheavy
Getting Digit to dance takes more than putting on some fancy shoes – our AI Team can teach Digit new whole-body control capabilities overnight. Using raw motion data from mocap, animation, and teleop methods, Digit gets new skills through sim-to-real reinforcement training.
Faster AI model training means faster, lower-cost humanoid deployment. Big news for large enterprises with high-volume, repetitive physical labor needs. Watch the full Commerce, Science, and Transportation Subcommittee hearing featuring Damion Shelton, Co-Founder of Agility (link in bio)
Not a pilot. Not a demo. A real deployment.
Digit is working the factory floor at @schaefflergroup , and @wsj took notice.
We're not just talking about the future of manufacturing. We're building it. Humanoid robots are redefining what labor looks like, and this is just the beginning.

High injury rates. High turnover. A million open jobs that can't be filled. Damion Shelton (Co-Founder) appeared before a Senate subcommittee to explain how humanoids will impact labor – they won’t threaten workers, they’ll expand capacity. For more information, visit link in bio.
Agility has taken step, after step, for over a decade to fall, walk, run, lift – to reach further. Take a deep dive into our new brand (Link in Bio) #whatwillyoubuild
A decade of research, hundreds of prototypes, one goal driving it all: to redefine labor. We’re starting our next chapter and we’re eager to know – what will you build with us? See what’s possible (Link in Bio) #Agility #humanoid #brandidentity #Redefinelabor
The most advanced manufacturing facilities in the world are defined not just by what they build, but by how they treat the people who build it. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada is deploying Digit across its facilities to take on the tasks that are hardest on the body and easiest to automate, giving team members back their energy for the work that demands human skill. This is the partnership between people and technology that we've always been building toward.
