Agility Robotics has unveiled Digit 5, the latest version of its humanoid robot, featuring new legs, upgraded batteries, and a more comprehensive safety architecture. The company said it engineered Digit 5 for cooperatively safe work at scale, allowing the robot to operate in close proximity to people without physical safety barriers.
The news arrives as Agility prepares to go public through a proposed SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp. XI, a deal that values the company at $2.5 billion. According to recent SEC filings, Agility generated $1.8 million in net sales in 2025. Digit is described as one of the only humanoid robots currently working in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics environments.
Digit 5 is removing a major barrier to scaling humanoid robots in industrial environments, said Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility Robotics.
Johnson said the company built Digit 5 to the exact requirements customers gave it after three years of Digit 4 working on their production floors. She added that the market has responded with more than $300 million in multi-year orders and a growing pipeline of customers across manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics.
Agility expects to begin early access to Digit 5 in the first half of 2027, with general availability for manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution operators by the end of 2027. The company also plans to make Digit 5 available for commercial deployment outside North America for the first time, starting with the European Union and United Kingdom. Agility said it expects Digit 5 to carry a CE mark and additional regulatory marks to enable market access to the EU, Great Britain, and Northern Ireland.
