The mobile bin-dumping demonstration operated across three days. Digit walked between stations, manipulated containers and emptied their contents while controlling locomotion and arm movements through an end-to-end policy. Researcher Ishita Gupta described the deployment as zero-shot, meaning the system was moved from research testing to the show floor without training for that specific venue. x.com
Chris Paxton, who works on AI at Agility, said the demonstration ran autonomously at the speed shown in the company’s footage, which was published at normal 1.0× playback. He said the system accumulated roughly 12 hours of operation at IROS. That figure covers the total demonstration period, not 12 continuous hours without a reset. Robotics Daily
Agility researcher Jemuel Premkumar separately reported that several portions ran for hours back-to-back without a reset. This is a team-reported result. Agility has not published the number of attempted cycles, task-success rate, intervention count, average cycle time or a comparison with a human operator. LinkedIn
The footage shows Digit operating inside a barrier-lined conference exhibit while attendees move around the surrounding area. Lighting, background activity and the physical layout differ from a controlled laboratory setup. The team has not yet published technical documentation explaining the model architecture, training dataset or how failures were handled during the three-day run.
