Agility Robotics has announced that Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) has signed a commercial agreement with the company.
After a successful pilot, TMMC plans to deploy Agility’s robot, Digit, in its facilities to support employees with manufacturing, supply chain and logistics operations.
Digit can do a variety of monotonous, process-automated tasks in manufacturing operations that are often difficult for companies to fill and keep filled.
Additionally, Digit can continually learn tasks and adapt to new manufacturing workflows, using AI to accelerate its commercial capabilities.
In addition to the work Digit is doing today, Agility and TMMC will continue to assess further use cases where robots and AI could help augment automotive production.
The companies will explore how automating some extremely repetitive and physically taxing tasks commonly found on automotive manufacturing production lines could reduce strain and increase safety for employees, freeing them to do more value-added work in the production facility.
Agility Robotics’ CEO, Peggy Johnson, said: “Toyota is one of the premier companies in the world; one with a long history of innovation and success, so it’s a privilege to join forces to integrate humanoid robotic solutions like Digit into automotive production.
“I look forward to continuing our work with Toyota to identify all the ways that Digit can help the employees working at their production facilities.
“With our next generation of Digit, we will be the first company to deliver the first cooperatively safe humanoid robot to work alongside people, allowing companies like Toyota to scale their use of humanoids well beyond what is possible today.”
