Digit vs Atlas (Electric): which robot wins?
Agility Robotics's Digit against Boston Dynamics's Atlas (Electric) — price, capability, availability, and a verdict you can act on.
| Digit | Atlas (Electric) | |
|---|---|---|
| EST. PRICE | RaaS pricing | Not for sale |
| HEIGHT | 5"-9"- / 175 cm | ~5′9″ / 175 cm* |
| WEIGHT | ~65 kg | ~89 kg* |
| PAYLOAD | 16 kg | 25 kg* |
| RUNTIME | ~4 hrs | Swappable battery |
| DEXTERITY | Bird-legged biped, tote-handling arms | Full-rotation joints, superhuman range |
| AVAILABILITY | Commercial only | Industrial only |
| WHICHBOT SCORE | 7.5 / 10 | 8.8 / 10 |
| OUR TAKE | The veteran. Longest real-world deployment record of any biped - proof this category works, even if it's not home-bound. | The gold standard of humanoid engineering, reborn electric. Its 360-degree joints move in ways humans cannot — and Hyundai factories get it first. |

Detailed comparison: Digit vs Atlas (Electric)
Digit scores 7.5/10 in our independent evaluation; Atlas (Electric) scores 8.8/10. That 1.3000000000000007-point gap is real but not decisive — Digit may still be the right fit depending on your use case.
Digit is best for: Logistics operators who value a proven track record over frontier specs. Atlas (Electric) is best for: Watching where the engineering ceiling is — and where factory humanoids are headed.
Our scoring weighs five factors: autonomous capability, independent verification (third-party evidence scores higher than manufacturer claims), commercial deployment scale, price-to-capability ratio, and real-world availability today. Neither robot here is scored on marketing alone. Digit and Atlas (Electric) are both worth evaluating — the right call depends on which robot's documented strengths match your actual workflow.
