The author corrects the subject to Digit 5, Agility Robotics' latest humanoid demo.
Key points:
- The newest Digit demo shows a significant design change.
- Speed was never mentioned in the official specs, a notable omission.
- The robot carries an unusually large backpack — battery, compute, or cooling, nobody knows.
- Digit is also among the heavier humanoids, raising questions about its design trade-offs.
