Agility’s new humanoid robot will stop, squat to avoid harming human coworkers
摘要
Agility Robotics发布新款人形机器人Digit 5，专为在人类附近安全工作而设计。当检测到有人靠近时，该机器人可自主采取避让或原地停立等措施；若人员进入更近距离，它还能蹲下或采取坐姿。Agility首席技术官表示，该机器人配备了复杂的安全运动系统，可根据检测到的人员情况采取多种应对措施。此类安全功能有望让机器人在仓库和汽车工厂等场景中无需隔离工
Agility Robotics has debuted its first humanoid robot engineered to work safely near humans without risking harm to flesh-and-blood coworkers. Such safety features could unlock many more opportunities to use such robots inside warehouses and automotive factories—all without requiring isolated robot work cells and physical separation barriers.
When Agility’s new Digit 5 robot detects a person at a distance, it can autonomously take precautions, like moving to avoid the person or standing still so the person can pass by without getting closer. If a person is getting into close proximity with Digit 5, the robot can even choose to squat and assume a seated position.
“The robot was designed with a complex safe motion system that can take a variety of different mitigations depending on exactly what sort of human presence is detected,” Pras Velagapudi, chief technology officer at Agility, told Ars.
