New Offboard Safety Bridge Extends Agility and FORT's Safety Architecture to Digit 5

SALEM, Ore. and PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Agility Robotics, a leading humanoid robotics and physical AI company, and FORT Robotics, a safety platform building the Trust Layer for physical AI, today signed a memorandum of understanding outlining a partnership to further advance the safety infrastructure of Digit® 5, Agility's next-generation humanoid robot engineered for cooperatively safe work at scale. The partnership will deepen a historical, multi-year engagement that has grown from a single custom hardware component into an integrated, three-part safety architecture consisting of a safety pendant, on-robot communications, and off-robot interfaces connecting Digit with external safety systems. The off-robot interface, jointly developed by FORT and Agility, is designed to extend Agility's cooperative-safety approach beyond the robot itself, enhancing the onboard safety architecture already planned for Digit 5.
