In his keynote talk, Agility co-founder and CTO Jonathan W. Hurst will give an inside look at the process of developing bipedal robots.

Digit is being built to carry out bulk material handlings tasks in warehouses and distribution centers.

Agility Robotics, ANYbotics, Boston Dynamics, Clearpath Robotics, Open Robotics and Unitree pledged not to support the weaponization of their products and are calling for others in the industry to do the same.

Cassie, a bipedal robot developed at Oregon State University, recently ran 100 meters in 24.73 seconds at OSU’s Whyte Track and Field Center. 

Agility Robotics co-founders Jonathan Hurst and Damion Shelton will discuss how they’re developing Digit to perform real-world tasks.

Listen to Steve and Mike interview Agility Robotics co-founder and CEO, Damion Shelton. They also discuss the new US Alliance of Robotics Clusters.

DCVC and Playground Global led the funding round, which also included participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund (AIIF).

RBR50 company Agility Robotics, a leading developer of bipedal robots, has raised $20 million in Series A funding. The funding will help the Albany, Ore.-based company to scale its operation and production of the Digit humanoid, which started shipping to customers in July 2020. The Series A was co-led by DCVC and Playground Global and…

In this episode of The Robot Report Podcast, we talk to Jonathan Hurst, Co-Founder and CTO of Agility Robotics, which is developing legged robots. We discuss how passive dynamics has steered the direction of Agility’s robots, the role of simulation and reinforcement learning, the fourth version of Digit currently being developed, comparisons to Boston Dynamics, and much more.

2019 was an important year for legged robots as Boston Dynamics started leasing its Spot quadruped. The turn of the decade is continuing the momentum of legged robots as Agility Robotics is now selling its Digit humanoid for commercial use. Agility Robotics is on the third version of Digit, which was first introduced February 2019.…

Ever since it introduced its first bipedal robot, Cassie, in early 2017, Agility Robotics has said package delivery is an ideal application. We now have our first look at how the Albany, Oregon-based company envisions its bipedal robots assisting last-mile delivery. Agility and Ford Motor Company are developing a last-mile delivery solution that combines Ford’s autonomous…

2019 will be the year of commercial class legged robots. That was the message delivered by Agility Robotics and Boston Dynamics during their respective opening and closing keynotes at the inaugural Robotics Summit & Showcase, produced by The Robot Report and WTWH Media in Boston. Agility Robotics CEO and co-founder Damion Shelton updated attendees on…

Agility Robotics announced at the Robotics Summit & Showcase two free simulators for its Cassie bipedal robot. The simulators will help evaluate the physical capabilities of the Cassie bipedal robot and test control methods. In the opening keynote of the Robotics Summit, Agility Robotics co-founder and CEO Damion Shelton said a simulation library using MuJoCo…

Security is one of the practical applications for various types of robots. And it appears the Cassie bipedal robot has a future as a mall cop or security guard on wheels. The Dynamic Legged Locomotion Lab at the University of Michigan recently had the Cassie bipedal robot ride a Segway. It’s part of the labs…
