Agility Robotics has announced an upgrade to its humanoid robot, Digit, which now features enhanced artificial intelligence, a four-hour battery life, and autonomous docking capabilities. During a presentation at the ProMat trade show, Chief Product Officer Melonee Wise highlighted how Digit can now synchronize with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and comply with OSHA safety standards, marking a step forward in warehouse automation. Additionally, Agility Robotics is targeting a funding round of $400 million to further develop its humanoid technology. In broader industry news, China is rapidly advancing in the humanoid robotics sector, with analysts suggesting that the country could potentially replicate its electric vehicle success in this field. Reports indicate that U.S. tech companies are investing heavily in humanoid robots, but China's scale and policy support may allow it to close the gap in research and development by 2030.
