Our take
Agility Robotics was founded with an aim of empowering the blended workforce, where humans and human-movement-enabled robots work side by side. Though there’s still plenty of wariness about what workplace robots might mean for the future of the workforce, the amount of R&D and Venture Capital funding into the space – coupled with an acute labor shortage – suggests that there’s no holding it back.
The company, founded by a team of Robotics and Bioengineering academics, has hit the headlines a number of times in the last few years for the mobility and dexterity of its robots which can walk around, move packages, and unload trailers (as well as climb stairs and run a 5K). This ability to run could have a huge impact, as it opens up the potential not just to work in warehouses and factories, but to complete last-mile deliveries – an ambition that Agility Robotics has made public.
The last few years has seen Agility Robotic secure nine figure funding as it looks to expand its operations. In 2023, the company announced the new face of its bipedal robot digit, that now sports a head and set of LED eyes - an improvement that should make it easier for humans to understand its actions (such as changing direction) and further enhance its performance within a blended workface.
