Digit v5

Digit v5 is the next generation of the only humanoid with a meaningful commercial track record, and its headline feature is not strength or speed but permission to stand next to a person. Agility calls the idea "cooperative safety": the robot is engineered to share unmodified floor space with workers, without the fenced workcell that conventional industrial robots require. That is a certification problem as much as an engineering one, because a neural network cannot be the thing that guarantees a machine stops. The answer Agility chose is to separate the two. Digit v5 is the first production platform for NVIDIA Halos for Robotics, announced on 22 June 2026 — a full-stack safety architecture that NVIDIA derived from its automotive safety work. In practice that means an industrial NVIDIA IGX Thor compute module containing a functional-safety island: an isolated processor, rated against IEC 61508, that can halt the robot independently of the AI stack running perception and planning. On top sits Halos Core and Halos OS, plus an "outside-in" layer in which cameras mounted in the building — not on the robot — feed AI agents that see around corners and slow Digit down before a person walks into its path. NVIDIA also stood up an ANAB-accredited inspection lab and lined up TÜV Rheinland, UL Solutions, TÜV SÜD, exida, SGS and CertX, which tells you the real bottleneck for humanoids on a shop floor is paperwork with a certifier, not a demo video. Commercially, v5 is the robot the money is betting on. Agility disclosed more than $300 million in multi-year orders for Digit v5 and a pipeline of over 30 potential customers while announcing its merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI in June 2026; the current-generation Digit that is actually working today at Schaeffler, GXO, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Mercado Libre has its own profile here. Figures circulating in the trade press — roughly a 50 lb (23 kg) payload, up from 35 lb, swappable hands and operating time stretched toward 22 hours a day — are consistent with Agility's messaging but have not been published as a manufacturer specification sheet, so treat them as reported rather than confirmed. Agility has not announced a list price or a general availability date.
