Questions
Digit vs SO-101 FAQs
Which is better, Digit or SO-101?+
There is no defensible overall robot winner without a target task and environment. Compare form factor, availability, payload, runtime, speed, sensing, control, safety, and price; green highlights apply only to specifications with an explicit direction.
Which can carry more, Digit or SO-101?+
A direct answer is unavailable because Digit does not publish a normalized payload (kg) in the current source.
Which runs longer, Digit or SO-101?+
A direct answer is unavailable because SO-101 does not publish a normalized runtime (hours) in the current source.
Which is faster, Digit or SO-101?+
A direct answer is unavailable because Digit does not publish a normalized maximum speed (m/s) in the current source.
Which costs less, Digit or SO-101?+
A normalized price comparison is unavailable. Digit: Contact sales. SO-101: Bill-of-materials cost varies.
Can I buy Digit or SO-101 today?+
Digit is recorded as select customers (Agility reports commercial customer deployments and invites deployment inquiries.); SO-101 is open build (LeRobot publishes assembly and sourcing instructions rather than selling a single finished configuration.). Availability can be regional or customer-specific.
What are Digit and SO-101 designed to do?+
Digit: Material movement and logistics. SO-101: Robotics research, data collection, and policy evaluation.
What sensors do Digit and SO-101 use?+
Digit: not reported. SO-101: user-configured cameras, joint position feedback.
What software and control options do Digit and SO-101 support?+
Digit: Agility Arc. SO-101: Hugging Face LeRobot, Feetech SDK. Digit: autonomous. SO-101: leader-arm teleoperation, learned policy.
Are Digit and SO-101 the same type of robot?+
No. Digit is a humanoid platform; SO-101 is a fixed manipulator platform. Direct specification comparisons may therefore reflect different jobs.
