Nyobolt’s battery technology enables Digit 5 to work more than 20 hours in a 24-hour day

SALEM, Ore. AND CAMBRIDGE, UK, Oct. 15, 2026 — Agility Robotics, a leading humanoid robotics and physical AI company, today announced that Nyobolt, a pioneer of high-power, ultra-fast charging solutions, is the technology provider to Agility. The technology powers one of Digit® 5’s most significant upgrades: a fast recharge battery system that enables Digit to work more than 20 hours in a 24-hour day. “Nyobolt’s technology was chosen because Digit 5 will need more power from a smaller, lighter pack, in environments where reliability isn’t optional,” said Sai Shivareddy, Co-founder and CEO at Nyobolt. “Agility set an exceptionally high bar for what a battery has to withstand in live warehouse and manufacturing environments, and this partnership shows what’s possible when ultra-fast charging is engineered for the toughest conditions in physical AI.”

Early access to Digit 5 equipped with Nyobolt’s battery technology is expected to begin in the first half of 2027, with increasing availability over the following six to nine months for manufacturing, warehouse and distribution operators. Agility recently unveiled Digit 5 as its first humanoid robot designed for cooperatively safe work at scale, allowing it to work in close proximity to people. As part of its upgrades, Digit 5 will feature a new battery system that delivers 90-minutes of runtime and charges in just 9 minutes, achieving a 10:1 run-to-charge ratio, up from Digit 4’s 2:1 ratio. This rapid charge capability is designed to keep Digit working, enabling more than two shifts in a single day and helping customers get more from each robot.
