Robots are becoming more and more independent of humans. The American company Agility Robotics has shown the capabilities of its humanoid robot Digit, which last year went into mass production.
The description of the video states: "GPS navigation on waypoints, detection of remote obstacles with lidar, mapping of the area with stereo cameras, accurate balance and real-time movement. The person was used only for filming, otherwise Digit acted on its own».
Demonstration of the autonomy of the Digit robot
Previously, Digit had only partial autonomy and required remote control from the operator. Last year, Ford Motor acquired the first pair of production robots for use as couriers.
