- Amazon is testing a new robot in its warehouses.
- Digit is a humanoid bipedal robot from Agility Robotics that can work alongside employees.
- Amazon says Digit is designed to “work collaboratively” with employees, not replace them.
Amazon recently began testing a new robot in its warehouse operations — meet Digit, a humanoid bipedal robot with a turquoise torso and smiley eyes.
Designed by Agility Robotics, which Amazon has invested in as part of its Industrial Innovation Fund, Digit is only the latest of a string of warehouse robots the company has introduced over the last several years. However, most of the other warehouse robots have been cart-shaped or robotic arms, not humanoid like Digit.
