Yesterday, Agility co-founder and Chief Robot Officer Jonathan Hurst answered questions on X about the engineering behind Digit 5
Two of them came from your comments here.
He covered: • Why safety touches nearly every part of Digit 5 • What happens to the safety system when the network drops • Calibrating a fleet versus training policies that handle variation • Reflected inertia, gear reductions, and heel strike • Why Cassie’s leaf springs gave way to rigid links
Every question and answer is on the blog, exactly as posted. Link in comments.

Why this matters for talent
Agility's co-founder publicly answering detailed engineering questions about Digit 5 safety and actuation is partly recruiting. The topics, from safety systems to gear reductions and fleet calibration, map directly to the hardware and controls talent humanoid companies compete for. Agility has more than 70 open roles on the board.
