Agility Robotics builds machines today for academic, corporate, and military research and development, working towards a diverse range of near-future applications, including research machines, military, telepresence, remote sensing, search and rescue, and delivery and courier services. The company designs and builds machines that are agile, efficient, and capable of handling highly dynamic maneuvers. They are robust, successfully negotiating large ground surface variations in height or softness. They are also quiet, with only noise from an electric motor and footfalls. Agility Robotics was founded in 2015 and is based in Albany, Oregon.

Latest Agility Robotics News
Apr 12, 2023
The Robot Report Listen to this article Agility Robotics has been working since it spun out of Oregon State University in 2015 to bring humanoid robots out of the lab and into the real world. The company has made great strides in making its robots fit for bulk material handling tasks like tote movement. Earlier this year, the company unveiled the latest generation of its Digit robot , built specifically to carry out tasks in warehouses and distribution centers. Updates in the next generation include newly designed end effectors optimized for reaching high/low, pulling, picking up, and placing objects commonly found in e-commerce and shipping warehouses, like plastic totes. Digit also has a new head with LED animated eyes, which allow for improved human-robot interaction such as using simple expressions to convey information and intent. In his keynote talk at the Robotics Summit & Expo titled “Developing Human-Centric Bipedal Robots,” Agility co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Jonathan W. Hurst will give an inside look at the process of developing bipedal robots that are useful in the workplace. The Robotics Summit will take place at the Boston Convention Center on May 10-11, 2023, and Hurst will give his talk at 10:45 AM on the show’s second day. Hurst is also a Professor and co-founder of the Oregon State University Robotics Institute. He holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering and an M.S. and Ph.D. in robotics, all from Carnegie Mellon University. His university research focuses on understanding the fundamental science and engineering best practices for robotic-legged locomotion and physical interaction. Agility Robotics is bringing this new robotic mobility to market, solving customer problems, working towards a day when robots can go where people go, generate greater productivity across the economy, and improve the quality of life for all. You can find the full agenda for the Robotics Summit here . The Robotics Summit & Expo is the premier event for commercial robotics developers. There will be nearly 70 industry-leading speakers sharing their development expertise on stage during the conference , with 150-plus exhibitors on the show floor showcasing their latest enabling technologies, products and services that help develop commercial robots. There also will be a career fair, networking opportunities and more. Brianna Wessling Brianna Wessling is an Associate Editor, Robotics, WTWH Media.
