The Digit, a humanoid robot, is already doing real work inside a chefler factory in the United States, not in testing, but in daily operation and this marks a quiet, but extremely significant turn. The Digit is responsible for a simple, repetitive and essential task. Transport baskets of around 11 kg with industrial components, taking parts from a press to a washing station.
For now, Digit still operates within an isolated area surrounded by a security structure, but that is also about to change, the next generation of the robot planned for this year should include advanced sensors capable of detecting humans in real time, allowing it to work side by side with people without physical barriers. This is one of the most important milestones in robotics, the “exit from the cage”, because from that moment on the robots stop being isolated machines and start sharing the same space with us.
