About

About Agile ONE

Agile ONE combines a human-scale bipedal body with 21-joint hands, force and tactile sensing, cameras, lidar and speech interaction. Its control architecture coordinates locomotion, whole-body positioning and dexterous manipulation so the robot can move material, use tools and interact with industrial workstations.

The robot sits within Agile Robots’ wider manufacturing stack, which includes industrial arms, mobile robots, AI software and automated production systems. Skills are developed from simulation, teleoperation and operating data and can be transferred into workflows alongside people and other machines. Agile ONE is entering industrial deployment programmes through the company’s manufacturing and integration organisation.
