In this corner of the distribution flow, Digit takes totes full of orders from an AMR and loads them onto a conveyor. They then go downstream to be packed and shipped. Sometimes, those stations are backed up or shut down for shift changes, breaks, etc... Instead of sitting idle and creating a backlog in the AMR system, Digit will stack those totes off to the side. Then, when the conveyor is running again, Digit will clear the stack and return to normal loading and unloading. That ability to adapt to varying conditions and remain productive is one of the key benefits of a humanoid robot.

Agility Robotics CEO Peggy Johnson explained the reasoning behind Digit’s “backward” legs: “Knees get in the way of picking things up." Now, Digit is putting its backward-knees design, ten years in the making, to good use: The droid recently got hired at its first real job—picking up totes at a Spanx facility in Connecticut and putting them onto conveyors. The work is part of a multi-year deal with logistics provider GXO Logistics, Inc., and Johnson said the company is already getting monthly revenue from the robot-as-a-service project.
