- Agility Robotics founder Jonathan Hurst openly said "I cannot love Digit 5" — the largest, heaviest, most expensive robot Agility will ever build, full of design compromises that make it exactly what today's tasks need rather than his dream robot.
- Future iterations will be lighter and more capable, with the long-term goal of a robot that can care for him at home in old age.
- Agility is expected to list on Nasdaq imminently via its SPAC merger with $CCXI.
