‘digit’ is a robot that can be programmed to be your new workout partner. designed by agility robotics, the original device was launched on the market in early 2020 after CES, but has been tested in commercial partnerships from 2019, such as for deliveries with ford motor company. the bot with two arms and two legs can walk, carry objects and climb stairs – and now it can join in with your squats. watch the full workout in the video at the top of the page.

like the namesake brand, digit has been designed for agility. it can walk, climb stairs and maneuver around obstacles all whilst carrying objects. its two arms can lift and support up to 18 kg (40 pounds). as such, it has previously found homes in warehouses and delivery vans, helping commercial customers with their transporting needs. from may 2019, the robot has been part of ford’s postage service.

here, the bot was employed as a ‘last-mile’ solution for ford motor company. it was paired with their autonomous vehicle technology, where it folded up into the van before stretching out and delivering packages directly to the customers’ front doors. taking its manoeuvrability a step and a jump further, agility robotics digit is available — and capable — to become your workout partner.
