- We are excited to announce we have raised $150 million in a Series B funding round. This capital raise will rapidly expand our hiring and production and will accelerate the delivery of our next-gen robot. agilityrobotic...
At Agility, we make robots that are made for work. Our robot Digit works alongside us in spaces designed for people. Digit handles the boring and repetitive tasks that are meant for a machine, which allows companies and their people to focus on the work that requires the human element.

That’s amazing. Are they actually available for work yet?
yes they have been on sale since july 2020
now they are just scaling up and improving the robots.
Nah bruh
@@xsuploader You seem to know a lot about robotics, can we exchange about it?
Thanks for takings everybodys work.
This is so cool but at 0:42, it looks like Digit is loading the truck while the human is trying to unload it.
It's sabotage.
People shouldn’t be scared of automation. Under the correct system, it will lead to people having better and easier lives.
unfortunately we dont live in the correct system. And we dont seem to be moving toward it either.
Agreed - creating an ideal system is super hard though, because in a democracy you can never really get any meaningful changes through. We need a free market and the right incentives for both the populace and the ones that rule it.
we have the technology necessary to do without humanity. (HENRY KISSINGER quote from the 1974 Kissinger Report.)........Continue sleeping human.
The three laws need to be made if robotics have a future.
I imagine that we will have full robot workforce in about 10 years from now
10 years isnt likely.
maybe by 2050.
@@xsuploader agreed, in 10 years we will see a transitional workforce, not a fully autonomous/robotic one. Many warehouses will be fully autonomous, some won't be. Many vehicles on the road will be fully autonomous, many won't be. I think by 2040 we will see significant autonomization of society and the workforce.
By 2050, there is strong potential that this transition will be complete and that most jobs today both manual and intellectual could be automated and taken by an AI/robot (Yes, i said manual AND intellectual). The question is will they be? And if so, what role do humans play in such an economy? Do we simply rent out robots that we own to go to work for us? Thus, freeing us up to do what we love as our AI earns an income for us? Or, do we let corporations monopolize everything, replace human workers and leave us newly fired humans on the curb to starve? The choice is ours. We need to think of what legislation we want around this topic now.
Side note: there is also a good chance that even 100 years from now many jobs won't be fully automated, but will be done by humans with the assistance of AI and robotics. Why? There will likely always be things humans will be more comfortable with a human doing, than a machine. There are also some things yet unforseen that probably can't be automated very well, or are just better off having people do them. Lastly, there will be even more jobs that humans will likely just want to do.
@@xsuploaderwhen that happens, millions of humans will no longer be of use to the elite.
What I love to do is drive a car. I know myself well as a passenger, I may not endure long trips, or short ones either, out of idleness, or even worse, if I let my gaze wander to my smartphone. Even if I sit straight and look ahead while sitting in the front seat, as a passenger, I might not endure it to the point that I would prefer to walk back rather than ride in a car. So, I can't live without driving. I enjoy driving a car, and I am against this stupid automation!
This is awesome, I love digit, but the package is still empty?
I'd like to know more about how Agility bots handle stairs these days, and whether they'll be able to use ladders. That's going to be important if you want them in even more human-oriented spaces.
0:44 how nice of the human employee to wear a mask, otherwise the robot could get sick.
Hmm, I can see their movement is now a lot smoother now.
They take less steps when moving or pacing, and seem to react better when moving around.
I think they're gonna be very smooth and human-esq in their movements in two more years, give or take a month.
honestly, I still cannot see the advantage of bipedal robot carring packages over wheeled AGV. It's definitely cool at first sight, however when it comes to stability, workload, prices, I just don't believe anyone or company would try it.
when the workspace has steps or other environments inaccessible by wheeled robots
Digit is cool as heck. But what can it do besides carry totes? It’s made for work? Is that the only kind of work it can do?
I think you are on the wrong track. You should develop Digit for applications where wheeled/tracked robots fail and where a human anatomy is useful. In Intralogistics you will lose against spezialised AGVs since they are cheaper and frankly faster. The market is also a red ocean right now.
Can you keep these Bots working 24/7, with no oil breaks? Are they potentially unsafe in a mixed workforce?
Too Cool! Agility Robotics must be an Amazing place to work for.
Nice video, but maybe you need to show some client testimonials talking about how they use the robot in a production environment
0:40 - Spees it up 100x and it's half the speed it needs to be. Also you use heavy mobile rollerwheelracetracks for that.
It needs to go zakzakzakzakzak ~1.2 packets per second - times two. And when a wall of packets falls over (not that this ever happens 🙄) you need to deal with the mess.
-
That said, these robots are still super cool. Just not for this application case.
Right now to run anywhere near that speed you'd need a brigade of humans and a multi-point conveyor system loading multiple trucks simultaneously, rather than filling a single long trailer in under a minute. I think what you're asking for isn't doable right now!
@@tantamounted
I've done this once. I'd say 1.2 packets per second per experienced person in the (half empty) trailer is about peak performance for unloading small-ish nice-weight pacrels plusminus a few perzent. Drops to perhaps 0.2pps for those darn heavy paper pacrels (which were not too ucommon surprises in there). What makes that possible are several mobile manually to place (quite heavy) long roller-belt-table-alu-gizmos. With them in use there's barely any walking. It's just grab-pull-put-shove grab-pull-put-shove full throttle. Just slow enough to not hurt yourself and to not cause too much of a trailer filling mess out of of-out-control fallen or falling pacrels (not unusual given the neverending stream of newbies). Loading is notably slower of course as it involves a bit of tetris. Usually there are two people in the trailer. And one in front splitting the pacrels (unloading side). That the splitter has often to deal with more than 2pps I'd say is not unrealistic.
Not even close, a really good rate would be 400/600 cases per hour depending on size and weight.
All the same- agreed with your assessment that the bot has extremely limited use cases in the warehouse/ distribution space.
Where's his hands? Karl, did you cook them up and eat them again? KAAAaaaaarrrrl.
I had a rumbling in my tummy that only hands could satisfy!
Tesla Optimus Robot is coming!
Gen 3 was just built.
@@galvinstanley3235 They are here now. ❤️
I'm a friend of Sarah Connor. I was told she's here.
Oo
Why not wheels? isn't it cheaper and faster?
Nice. Can he get a beer for me in the refrigerator?
not with those stumps for hands!
@@cirusMEDIA He can get a case of beer...
Impressive !
Já existem robôs como esses aí trabalhando??
Awsome..
This robot alleviates back pain
More workers for amazon
I would actually much prefer Amazon to switch fully to robots than to mistreat human staff.
This is not a work worthy for a modern human.
@@MetallicReg i agree.Monotonous and labor intense jobs like that really do need robotic automation.
@@MetallicReg I'am sure there are plenty of intelligent people there,but less educated people need heavy lifting,and hard work jobs that most people don't want to do.
just give them wheels already..
And people all over the world will have a rest ?
the guy at 0:42 looks sad, probably knows he will ne out of job soon
At Seegson Synthetics, we know we're building machines, not people.
Terminé, la grève. La retraite avant même de commencer à bosser. On va drôlement s'ennuyer....
For many years you have been showing the same robot that can really do nothing but walk with great difficulty, rare technological development, embarrassing.
Look up gen 3 robot by Elon Musk.
Horrifying.
This is so dumb. Trying to sell human replacements. C'mon, automation is all around already.
0:58 THIS is a robot. Made for stealing your job.
Elon just bought this company
I don't think Elon will ever buy a robotic company, they had the chance to buy Boston Dynamics and they didn't, IMO he believes he can do robotics in house better than anybody else out there and to be honest they have almost everything they need to do so.
@@JigilJigil very interesting to see if elon can pull it off... Because to make robots as good as or better than Boston dynamics is wild, considering how long they have been researching... But Elon has some of the best scientists engineers and money, so will see what happens...
