Agility RoboticsIn Development
Next-generation industrial humanoid designed to work beside people without the cages Digit 4 still needs. New safety architecture (human detection, visual/auditory cues, independent motion controller), 50 lb payload, 5 foot 11 inch height, 7.2 foot reach, 90-minute runtime with a 9-minute charge, swappable ISO-flange end-effectors, and NVIDIA Halos / IGX Thor as the first Halos robotics launch partner.

Announced next steps from Agility Robotics that mention Digit 5.
H1 2027
Digit 5 is unveiled with H1 2027 early access and end-2027 general availability. Converting the $300 million-plus milestone-gated order into robots that ship, and proving cooperative safety on a live floor without cages, is the product half of the SPAC story.

Agility Robotics said on October 15 that Nyobolt is the battery technology provider for Digit 5, with early access expected in the first half of 2027. The company says the pack runs 90 minutes and charges in 9 minutes, and its business chief said that is meant to support more than 20 hours of work in a day. The Digit 5 page already lists a 10:1 ratio and 20 hours in 24 hours, both with asterisks, and does not name Nyobolt.
A Form 425 filed Oct. 1, 2026 reproduces a joint release saying Agility Robotics and FORT Robotics signed a memorandum of understanding on Digit 5 safety infrastructure, including a jointly developed Offboard Safety Bridge. The companies described a three-part architecture of a safety pendant, on-robot communications and off-robot interfaces, and said Digit predecessors have logged more than 65,000 hours at sites including Schaeffler, GXO and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. The filing labels the pact an MOU, not a disclosed dollar contract, and Digit 5 early access remains targeted for the first half of 2027.
