The two-legged robots walking into the future
Published on Nov 30, 2017

Creating a walking robot is no easy task. But despite numerous efforts throughout the years, people are still trying to create robots that can truly walk around our environments like we do. Motherboard met with Agility Robotics, a small start up in Oregon that is one of many who are trying to crack the code of creating the perfect bipedal robot.

Agility Robotics 2019 year in review
Dec 31, 2019
Quote:
Happy New Year! 2019 has seen a number of milestones for Agility, including the final deliveries of Cassie and the launch of Digit. To celebrate, we've compiled a supercut of (mostly) never-before-seen testing footage. Here's hoping 2020 is as robotastic as its predecessor - a big thanks to all of our employees for their hard work.

A year of Agility life | 2021
Dec 31, 2021

What a difference a year makes. In 2021, we solved hard problems that helped Digit learn to walk over rough terrain, identify and navigate obstacles, and transport boxes and totes. We partnered with customers to identify dull and dangerous tasks for Digit to perform, and we signed on new customers. We hired at a record rate and moved our company headquarters – more than doubling our size! And we had a great time doing all of it.
