Agility Robotics Unveils Digit Gen-3 Humanoid with Indian Logistics Partnership - RobotWale News

Next-Generation Humanoid Designed for Industrial Logistics

Agility Robotics officially unveiled the Digit Gen-3 humanoid robot on October 15, 2024, marking a significant leap in warehouse automation technology. The new model introduces a fully redesigned upper body with 28 degrees of freedom in each arm, enabling precise object manipulation and reduced cycle times for pick-and-place operations. The robot features a solid-state LiDAR system and upgraded tactile fingertips that allow it to handle fragile items without visual feedback.

Strategic Entry into the Indian Market

Alongside the hardware rollout, Agility Robotics announced a formal distribution and service partnership with Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) to deploy the Digit Gen-3 across India’s expanding e-commerce and manufacturing sectors. The collaboration will establish a dedicated integration hub in Bengaluru, focusing on last-mile logistics automation and automotive assembly line support. Localized technical training and after-sales support will be managed through TASL’s existing industrial robotics network.

Pricing and Deployment Timeline

The Digit Gen-3 is priced at $75,000 per unit for initial commercial deployments, with volume discounts available for enterprise clients. Indian customers will benefit from a localized pricing structure starting at ₹62 lakhs per unit, inclusive of import duties and initial calibration services. First deployments are scheduled to commence in Q1 2025 at partner facilities in Gujarat and Maharashtra, with full commercial availability expected by mid-2025.

Technical Specifications and Regulatory Compliance

Powered by a new high-torque joint actuator system, the Digit Gen-3 achieves a walking speed of 2.5 miles per hour while carrying a 20-kilogram payload. The robot’s onboard AI stack runs on edge-compute hardware, reducing latency for real-time navigation in dynamic warehouse environments. For the Indian market, the platform has been certified under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) safety guidelines for industrial automation, ensuring compliance with local electrical and operational regulations. Initial software updates will be delivered via secure over-the-air patches, with regional support teams providing on-site diagnostics.
