Humanoid Robot Revolution Begins: Agility Robotics Opens Factory in Salem, Oregon
"In this video, we explore the amazing story of how Agility Robotics, the creator of the bipedal robot Digit, is opening the world's first factory for humanoid robots in Salem, Oregon. This factory, called RoboFab, will have the capability to produce more than 10,000 robots per year, making it the largest and most advanced robot factory in the world.
We will take you inside RoboFab and show you how Digit, the humanoid robot that will revolutionize the workforce of the future, is made. Digit is the first commercial humanoid robot that can walk, run, climb stairs, and carry heavy loads. Digit is designed to go where people go and do useful work, safely, in spaces designed for people. Digit can perform tasks such as moving, loading, and unloading totes in warehouses and distribution centers. Digit can also work collaboratively with humans and other robots, thanks to its advanced sensors and artificial intelligence.
We will also tell you about the vision and mission of Agility Robotics, a company that was founded in 2015 by former researchers from Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Laboratory. Agility Robotics' vision is to enable humans to be more human by solving difficult problems in today's workforce with robotic solutions. Agility Robotics has received funding from various sources, including DARPA, NASA, Ford Motor Company, and Playground Global.
We will also share with you some of the challenges and opportunities that RoboFab and Digit will bring to the field of robotics and society at large. RoboFab is a milestone in the history of robotics, as it marks the beginning of the mass production of commercial humanoid robots. RoboFab will accelerate the development and deployment of advanced robotic systems and cultivate innovation in the field of robotics. RoboFab will also create new opportunities for employment, education, and entertainment in Salem and beyond.
