由Agility Robotics研发的Digit机器人,是首款被部署至客户现场的人形机器人。
A fleet of Digits, the 5-ft 9-in bipedal bot developed by Agility Robotics, has been put to work hauling totes in a Connecticut Spanx factory under the first Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) deployment of humanoid robots.
Agility Robotics开发的五英尺九英寸高的双足机器人Digit团队,已在康涅狄格州Spanx工厂投入使用,负责搬运货物箱,这是人形机器人首次以机器人即服务(RaaS)模式部署到实际工作中。
After a successful proof-of-concept pilot in 2023, Agility recently announced that it has entered into a multi-year agreement with GXO Logistics, Inc. to start using Digit robots in GXO’s warehouses.
在2023年成功完成概念验证试点后,Agility最近宣布与GXO Logistics公司签订了一份多年期协议,开始在其仓库中使用Digit机器人。
“There will be many firsts in the humanoid robot market in the years to come, but I’m extremely proud of the fact that Agility is the first with actual humanoid robots deployed at a customer site, generating revenue, and solving real-world business problems,” said Peggy Johnson, Agility Robotics’ CEO. “Agility has always been focused on the only metric that matters – delivering value to our customers by putting Digit to work – and this milestone deployment raises the bar for the entire industry.”
“未来几年,人形机器人市场将迎来众多里程碑事件,但我对Agility感到无比自豪,因为我们是第一家将真正的人形机器人部署在客户现场、产生收入并解决现实世界业务问题的公司,”Agility Robotics首席执行官Peggy Johnson表示,“Agility始终专注于唯一重要的指标——通过让Digit投入工作来为我们的客户创造价值——这一里程碑式的部署为整个行业树立了新的标杆。”

A Mobile Manipulation Robot (MMR) with a carrying capacity of 35 lb (15.9 kg), Digit is probably best known for its distinctive ‘backward’ legs. Under the RaaS agreement, GXO will deploy Digit fleets and Agility Arc, the cloud-based automation platform that provides complete robotic control and simplifies processes such as facility mapping, workflow definition, operational management and troubleshooting.
Digit是一款拥有35磅(约15.9公斤)承载能力的移动操控机器人(MMR),以其独特的“后弯”腿部设计而广为人知。根据机器人即服务(RaaS)协议,GXO将部署Digit机器人团队和Agility Arc云自动化平台。Agility Arc提供了完整的机器人控制功能,并简化了如设施映射、工作流程定义、运营管理和故障排除等流程。
Digit and Agility Arc will integrate with existing automation in the Spanx factory. Following on from last year’s pilot, Digit will assist with repetitive tasks like taking totes from other bots and placing them on conveyors.
Digit和Agility Arc将与Spanx工厂现有的自动化设备进行集成。继去年的试点项目之后,Digit将协助完成从其他机器人处取出手提箱并将其放置在传送带上的重复性任务。
“We’re building on the success of last year’s groundbreaking pilot with Agility by deploying fully operational Digit humanoids into a live warehouse environment,” said Adrian Stoch, Chief Automation Officer at GXO. “Our R&D approach is to partner with developers all over the world to help them build and validate practical use cases that improve the working environment for our employees while optimizing operations for our customers. Agility shares this philosophy, and Digit is the perfect addition to work alongside our people in our fulfillment center. We’re delighted to progress our partnership through this critical milestone.”
“我们在去年与Agility成功进行的开创性试点的基础上,将完全投入运营的Digit人形机器人部署到实际仓库环境中,”GXO首席自动化官阿德里安·斯托赫表示。“我们的研发方法是与全球各地的开发人员合作,帮助他们构建并验证实用案例,以改善我们员工的工作环境,同时优化我们客户的运营。Agility共享这一理念,而Digit是我们配送中心与员工并肩工作的完美补充。我们很高兴通过这一关键里程碑推进我们的合作伙伴关系。”

The RaaS agreement also allows both companies to explore additional use cases for Digit and scale the robot’s usage according to demand throughout the deployment period.
该RaaS协议还允许两家公司探索Digit的更多用例,并根据部署期间的需求扩大机器人的使用规模。
Digit is already an award-winning robot, taking out Robot of the Year in the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards earlier in 2024.
Digit机器人早已屡获殊荣,在2024年初的RBR50机器人创新奖评选中荣获“年度机器人”称号。
