Robot Takes a Tumble at Chicago Supply Chain Exhibit

A robot collapsed while doing a demonstration at a supply chain exhibition in Chicago, Illinois, in late March.

The robot, named Digit, was designed by Agility Robotics to work in warehouses lifting boxes and doing other tasks, according to news reports.

This footage was captured by Agility Robotics staff at the ProMat exhibition event in Chicago March 20 to 23.

“With a 99% success rate over about 20 hours of live demos, Digit still took a couple of falls at ProMat,” Agility Robotics tweeted.

Aside from demoing their box lifting abilities, Agility Robotics had its fleet of Digits showcase a choreographed dance, video shows. Credit: Agility Robotics via Storyful
