Amazon begins testing Agility Robotics Digit for tote recycling
Amazon began testing Agility Robotics' Digit bipedal robot for moving empty totes in a fulfillment-operations research environment.
Evidence notes
- The trial focuses on tote recycling, a repetitive workflow in which empty containers are collected and moved after inventory has been picked.
- Amazon identified Digit's ability to move, grasp and handle items in spaces designed for people as the basis for the trial.
- The announcement frames Digit as an external mobile-manipulator test alongside Amazon's own Sequoia system, not as an Amazon Robotics product.
Company context
US robotics company focused on humanoid systems for logistics and warehouse automation. Digit is designed for real-world material handling tasks in structured environments.
