“This partnership is exciting,” said Dr. Damion Shelton, CEO of Agility, “because it allows each company to focus on its area of unique expertise. Real-world logistics systems are composed of many specialized pieces, and Agility’s legged robots solve a critical challenge that has faced the autonomous delivery industry – how to get a package from a vehicle to the customer’s preferred delivery location.”
Agility will announce Digit pricing mid-year, with deliveries beginning Q1 2020. In addition to being sold as a stand-alone product, the commercially released version of Digit will also be used in an autonomous delivery test program with Ford beginning early next year.
