As our knowledge of robotics continues to grow, companies are working hard to build the perfect robotic assistant for humans. We’ve already seen Boston Dynamics’ now-commercial robotic dog, Spot, perform numerous tasks with an aim to assist humans in day-to-day activities. Now, another robotics company has built a humanoid robot to run errands in your office and carry big boxes from one point to another.
Dubbed as Digit, this head-less humanoid robot has been designed to help humans in factories and offices. It has a unique design that helps it to perform various tasks such as lifting heavy boxes and carrying them from point A to point B.
We’re excited to announce a $20M fundraise co-led by @DCVC and @Playground_VC. With Digit now in full production, we look forward to putting bipedal robots to work in dull, dirty, and dangerous spaces designed for humans. https://t.co/wBmKIrXnhv pic.twitter.com/yDAKRtERtf
