Want a humanoid in your factory? Here’s how much one could cost you.

Agility Robotics has revealed the cost of its humanoid robot, Digit, which could break even for customers within 1.1 years. The company's filing provides an estimate that a Digit v5 robot would cost around $200,000 upfront, plus a one-time deployment fee of approximately $20,000. Maintenance and software costs are estimated at $36,000 per year for a five-year useful life, bringing the total cost to about $400,000.

The company assumes a five-year lifespan for the robot, although it stated in the filing that contracts are negotiable and there's no guarantee the robot would stop working after five years. Despite the high initial investment, Agility claims that Digit v5 could achieve customer breakeven in roughly 1.1 years, citing productivity, uptime, and the availability of workers as contributing factors.

The robot is capable of lifting up to 50 pounds and can operate for about 20 hours within a 24-hour period. Agility's Digit v4 model has been deployed at nine customer facilities, including Scahfer, GXO, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, and Amazon. The company plans to release the next-generation v5 robot later this year, aimed at more complex tasks like picking and moving bins and totes.

While few robotics companies have disclosed prices for their humanoids, China's Unitree Robotics offers its G1 humanoid starting at $13,500, primarily for research and development purposes.
