    **Title:** Agility Robotics and Fort Robotics Partner to Expand Digit's Safety Architecture

    **Summary:** Agility Robotics and Fort Robotics have partnered to extend Digit's safety architecture beyond the robot itself, introducing an Offboard Safety Bridge that connects Digit to existing facility safety systems. This integration ensures protection regardless of whether the safety signal originates from the robot or its environment. The solution is built on 65,000+ hours of real-world operation.
