Company Claim
Agility states one customer has committed $300 million toward Digit v5 over a multi-year period, subject to certain contractual milestones, product features and/or specifications (per its Sept 2026 SEC S-4) — not an aggregate across multiple customers as earlier informal framing suggested. The predecessor Digit's 65,000+ operational hours across GXO, Schaeffler, Amazon, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada is separately cited as track record, though that history belongs to the prior generation, not to Digit 5 itself
What's Actually Confirmed
The 65,000+ hours and named-customer track record belong to the predecessor Digit ("Digit 4"/"Digit v4" in Agility's own materials), not to Digit 5 itself, which has not shipped to any customer site. Agility's own S-4 states Digit v5 prototype units have already been built and targets a "late 2026" initial release, which conflicts with the Sept 15 press release's H1 2027 early-access timeline — neither is treated as authoritative here.

Lease option: $8,500/month. No confirmed list price. Agility's SEC S-4 discloses illustrative, assumption-based RaaS unit economics for Digit v5: a 5-year robot useful life, an $8,500/month recurring subscription fee (software + maintenance), and an approximately $25,000 one-time deployment fee — explicitly framed as estimates, not locked pricing. Separately, one customer has committed $300M over a multi-year period, subject to contractual milestones. Not yet shipping to customers. Agility's Sept 4, 2026 SEC S-4 states an initial release in "late 2026" with prototype units already built; its Sept 15, 2026 press release instead states early access H1 2027 and general availability end of 2027 — the two official statements do not reconcile. Initial commercial availability is planned for North America (U.S., Canada), expanding to the EU and UK.
What are the main strengths of the Digit 5?
- "Cooperatively safe" design eliminates the physical safety barriers the prior Digit generation required
- First humanoid reported to pass an independent OSHA field evaluation
- Fast charge cycle relative to runtime (90 min runtime on a 9 min charge, 10:1 ratio)
- Higher payload (50 lb) and longer reach (7.2 ft) than the predecessor Digit (35 lb payload)
- $300M multi-year commitment from a single customer secured before general availability, per Agility's SEC S-4
- Prototype units already built and undergoing production-cost-reduction testing, per Agility's Sept 2026 SEC filing — not just a marketing announcement
What are the limitations of the Digit 5?
- Not yet shipping to any customer; Agility's own official documents disagree on the release timeline (S-4: initial release "late 2026"; press release: H1 2027 early access / end-of-2027 general availability)
- No published degrees of freedom or top speed; pricing exists only as illustrative, assumption-based RaaS unit economics in the SEC S-4, not a confirmed list price
- Agility's own materials caveat that specs reflect preliminary testing of pre-production hardware and are subject to change
- Some functional safety features explicitly described as still in development
- No Digit-5-specific deployment or operational data yet; all cited operational history belongs to the predecessor generation
- The $300M commitment is contingent on unspecified contractual milestones and product features being met, per Agility's own S-4
