Agility Robotics has announced that its next-generation humanoid robot, Digit 5, will utilize NVIDIA IGX Thor modules for its onboard computing needs. This move expands the existing collaboration between Agility and NVIDIA, focusing on integrating AI computing with safety measures for broader commercial deployment.
The decision to standardize on NVIDIA IGX Thor establishes NVIDIA as the exclusive provider of onboard compute for Digit 5, which is crucial for ensuring the robot's operational safety and efficiency in environments like factories and warehouses. This collaboration aims to enhance Digit's perception capabilities and support its certification processes.
Early access to Digit 5 is anticipated in the first half of 2027, with wider availability expected within six to nine months for various industrial applications. Agility Robotics is also preparing for its public listing through a business combination with Churchill Capital Corp XI, expected to finalize in late 2026.
