One of the challenges that humanoid robot designers face is power management. Agility Robotics Inc. today said it is working with Nyobolt on a fast-recharge battery system for its Digit 5 system. The technology will allow the robot to work more than 20 hours in a day, the companies claimed.

“For our customers, Digit’s uptime is the business case,” stated Daniel Diez, chief business officer at Agility. “Digit 5 will deliver more than 20 hours of productive work in a 24-hour day, more than two full shifts. That’s the kind of gain that materially improves the value customers get from Digit and the economics of deploying a humanoid robot fleet. Nyobolt’s ultra-fast charging technology gets us there, and it’s one of the pieces that makes Digit 5 ready for full-scale operation.”

Founded in 2015, Agility said Digit is “the first multi-purpose, human-centric robot that is ‘Made for Work’ and commercially deployed today.” The Salem, Ore.-based company said it has accumulated more than 65,000 of real-world operations. Last month, it released Digit 5 with new legs and acknowledged that it is considering wheeled locomotion.

Founded in 2019, Nyobolt said it has combined proprietary anode materials, advanced battery cell design, and integrated power electronics to enable fast charging, high power density, reduced weight, and extended lifecycles. The Cambridge, U.K.-based company said its technology enables demanding industrial applications and reduces downtime, a key constraint in robot utilization.

Nyobolt said its patent portfolio and global footprint support AI datacenters, physical AI , and mobility applications while reducing the total cost of ownership.
