1/ 🚨🤖 This Amazon warehouse coworker is 5'9" and robotic. Meet Digit, the humanoid robot built by Agility Robotics to help move stuff, haul totes, and roam shelves like a warehouse NPC.

2/ Digit isn’t your typical clunky robot. It can walk, climb stairs, and carry up to 35 lbs. Thanks to LiDAR, depth cameras, and a killer sense of balance, it navigates human spaces without needing the floor redesigned. Basically, it vibes in the same layout we do.

3/ Amazon’s testing Digit to take over repetitive, back-straining tasks in its fulfillment centers. The goal? Boost efficiency and make life easier for human workers. Digit doesn’t replace people—it just takes the sucky jobs and does them without needing lunch breaks.

4/ Digit’s also built with safety in mind. It comes with emergency stop buttons, smart collision avoidance, and it’s built to work with humans, not scare them. Imagine R2-D2 but taller, and it’s putting in shifts at your local Amazon hub.

5/ Amazon’s trying to automate warehouses without going full Black Mirror. Digit is their humanoid warehouse helper, built for the real world—not sci-fi. And yeah, it might be your next coworker. Just don’t challenge it to a foot race. 🦿💨
