    "excerpt": "Agility Robotics has introduced Digit 5, the latest version of its humanoid robot with plans to also expand availability to Europe for the first time. According to the company , the new model brings with it a higher payload, faster charging and new safety features designed to let it work more closely with people in factories and warehouses. Early access is expected to begin in the first half of next year, followed by general availability by the end of the 2027. Agility indicated it also plans to make Digit commercially available outside North America for the first time, starting with the EU and UK. The company said the new robot is designed to handle a wider range of work while reducing the need for physical safety barriers around robotic work areas. Agility reported it has redesigned Digit’s safety architecture to let the robot operate closer to people without relying as heavily on the physical barriers commonly used around industrial automation. The company said the system builds on an earlier independent field evaluation in which Digit became the first humanoid to be assessed on a customer production line against industrial safety standards administered by OSHA. “Digit 5 is removing a major barrier to scaling humanoid robots in industrial environments,” CEO Peggy Johnson, CEO noted in the announcement. “We built it to the exact requirements our customers gave us after three...",
