What the source says
“Agility said this won't be necessary with Digit 5, which can work in close proximity to people.”
What it means
Digit, from Agility Robotics, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Its stage is set by other milestones on its record; this one adds to the history. This line rests on the company's own announcement; no regulator, customer or independent report confirms it in our sources yet.
Human help: The maker hasn't said whether people help it remotely.
