…workforce.” Shelton and Jonathan Hurst, two robotics Ph.D.s from Carnegie Mellon University, met as graduate students and founded the company seven years ago. Agility Robotics designs Digit for flexibility Despite the conventional wisdom that many industry problems have been addressed by automation, most robotics technologies today are purpose-built for single tasks, making them inflexible, expensive, and quickly obsolete, said Agility Robotics. By contrast, the company's legged robots are built to be versatile, cost-effective, non-threatening, and durable helpers to people, wrote Hurst, chief technology officer at Agility, in a recent blog post. The humanoids are built, not for dancing, but for…
