Digit V5 caught in scrutiny: no speed specs, giant backpack before SPAC listing
MarwaEldiwiny · x · 2026-09-21
Ahead of its planned public listing via SPAC merger, Agility Robotics released a launch video and spec sheet for Digit V5 — and robotics folks are reading the fine print.
- Speed is conspicuously absent from the spec sheet, despite being a key humanoid metric
- The robot now carries an unusually large backpack unit; battery, compute, or cooling?
- Digit is already one of the heaviest humanoids on the market, raising more questions about the redesign
