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.

- Digit is already one of the heaviest humanoids on the market, raising more questions about the redesign
