    n independent safety controller supervises Digit’s response whenever someone is detected within an unsafe distance and instantly triggers the appropriate safety response. The new model can repeatedly lift loads of up to 50 pounds. A new 90-minute runtime battery charges in nine minutes, giving Digit 5 a 10:1 run-to-charge ratio and enabling more than 20 hours of productive work in a 24-hour day. Agility says Digit 5
