Announcing RoboFab, World's First Factory for Humanoid Robots

Today we announce the opening of our first RoboFab™, a robot manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon with the capability to produce more than 10,000 robots per year.

Initial construction of the 70,000-square-foot robot factory began last year, and it is set to
open later this year. Agility anticipates production capacity of hundreds of Digit robots in the first year, with the capability to scale to more than 10,000 robots per year. At full capacity, RoboFab will employ more than 500 workers in Salem, in addition to employees at Agility’s other locations.

---------------------------------------

At Agility, we make robots that are made for work. Our robot Digit works alongside us in spaces designed for people. Digit handles the tedious and repetitive tasks meant for a machine, allowing companies and their people to focus on the work that requires the human element.

This is beyond my expectations for how quickly things are moving. In 5 years the world will be unrecognisable

Robots can be sent to other planets like Titan and mars that could make buildings so when humans arrive they have habitats, 3d printing can be used. Robots can survive in harsher conditions, and the habitats can be monitored. Satellites can relay information, to monitor them. Also this could be something in terms of space exploration, robots can be used in long flights even some could be for many years on stand by or low power mode then restart in a similar way that it has been suggested to put humans in staysis.

Can it do something more than moving boxes from A to B in a controlled environment? Legit question.

Thanks for the introduction, Susan Calvin.

Terrific there goes human jobs can't wait, really excited

When does the T-1000 model come out? 👀

Life on this planet is rapidly evolving through technology.

Amazing to be alive to see that.

It can create up to 10 thousand but how many orders have you guys gotten so far?

[Eric_Malbos]

An impressive step. I hope it will succeed. Besides, this android is using quite some vocal fry in her voice, it will be nice to have settings to smooth her voice. Lastly, she used only imperial units, I think it will be modern and relevant to add international metrics system in her discourse program.

This is an incredible milestone for robotics. Within 10 years Digit will be helping with so much (i can’t wait for the moment that Digit gets an LLM like Palm in it).

"They're comin'for our jobs!"

[ExplainingComputers]

Congratulations! A signature development.

[miltonchavez]

I am glad I am 65 and not younger to be replaced at my job with a robot.

[JasonTheCollectorGamerreseller]

That is very cool I have played Detroit being human on ps4 that was amazing I honestly can’t wait to be able to to buy one one day I hope there not crazy expensive though

[myxalplyx]

This came out of nowhere. Early congrats! Everyone was talking about Tesla's Optimus bots. Good luck with everything.

[TurokAgi]

Exciting 🎉 but 10k robots a year isnt much when there's so much ground to cover. We need more!

[williamparrish]

I just had a thought, that the robots will literally be autonomous and able to run errands for us, by hopping in cars and driving!😮

[maximumoverdrive]

Can humanoid robots really fulfill enough functions more efficiently than other designs to a high enough degree to justify the added cost and complexity? Is there really an application for this or is it just basing design decisions off of sci Fi aesthetics like the hyperloop?

[ChivasKimber]

No jobs and no money for the average person. This is our future!

[JustforFun-cbbo]

If someone makes a start everything will start rolling 😉
