Soft Robotics Podcast

Hey! I am Marwa ElDiwiny, the host and creator of the Soft Robotics podcast. I started this podcast for a reason, one of them was to ask the questions I always wanted to ask when I was in the lab and reignite my curiosity by talking to interesting people. I found my purpose in this podcast, I hope it may inspire someone somehow along this journey!

  Digit 5: What Are They Not Showing Us?

  Sep 20, 20261h 10m

  Digit 5: What Are They Not Showing Us? Agility’s latest Digit demo shows a pretty significant change in the robot’s design. But it also raises a few questions. One of the biggest ones is speed. Speed was never mentioned in their specs. And then there’s that unusually large backpack. Battery? Compute? Cooling? Something else? Digit is also one of the heavier humanoids out there, so it’s worth asking what that means for safety. Scott Walter and I sat down to go through the new design and the footage. One thing we noticed: Digit doesn’t actually take a step in the footage we reviewed. There’s also footage that appears to be CGI rather than an actual physical demonstration. None of this necessarily means the technology doesn’t work. It just means there are still things we can’t really judge from the demo. And Agility is, of course, welcome to respond or correct anything we got wrong.
