The old prestige pyramid—where Ivy League degrees and blue-chip consulting backgrounds paved the way to the CEO seat—is cracking.
September 20, 2023: RoboFab is ready to build 10,000 humanoid robots per year.
These robots are designed with two legs and two arms and are intended to work alongside humans in warehouse and factory settings.
The 70,000-square-foot facility, called “RoboFab,” is a pioneering endeavor and
will have a maximum annual capacity of 10,000 units once fully operational. It is expected to employ over 500 people. Agility Robotics is currently focused on setting up and testing its initial production lines, acknowledging that this is a complex and phased process.
Digit’s development, funded by investors likeDCVC and Playground Global, has positioned Agility Robotics ahead of potential competitors, including Tesla’s Optimus initiative.
The robot’s design mimics a human form to lift, control, and move objects while maintaining balance. It suits environments where traditional robots face limitations, such as navigating stairs or confined spaces. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries power Digit and features hands
simplified for practical tasks, rather than human-like five-fingered hands.
These robots can perform various tasks, including traversing stairs, working in tight spaces, unloading containers, and transporting materials. Agility Robotics intends to deploy Digit within its factory to transport material.
Initially, the company plans to sell these systems to preferred partners, with no mention of renting or leasing options in the near term.
