CNN —In the not-so-distant future, human-like robots will be as ubiquitous as the automobile or smartphone – if Agility Robotics’ vision of the future comes to life.
“This is really an inflection point in history,” said Jonathan Hurst, co-founder of Agility Robotics, a Silicon Valley firm that showed off its humanoid, “Digit” to investors and press Tuesday.
Agility Robotics' robot Digit showcased its ability to operate autonomously in front of a small audience Tuesday night.
Due to safety regulations implemented by Agility Robotics, humans must also stay six feet away from Digit.
Less than two weeks ago, Amazon announced it will begin testing Digit in a Seattle warehouse (Amazon is an investor in Digit’s parent company Agility Robotics.)
