Agility’s Jonathan Hurst on getting balancing robots safely beyond the fence
Short answer: Agility Robotics said on X on 6 November 2026 that GeekWire sat down with co-founder and Chief Robot Officer Jonathan Hurst to discuss how a balancing robot can operate safely outside a fence and what standards work supports that move. The post is a pointer to an interview, not a new product launch.
Agility wrote that Hurst spoke about getting a balancing robot safely out from behind the fence and about the standards work behind it, linking the full GeekWire conversation. That framing matters for humanoid and digit-class deployments that need to share floors with people rather than stay caged.
What was said, and what was not
The company did not announce a new Digit SKU, a fresh customer tally, or a regulatory certification in the X post itself. Readers should treat the message as an executive interview lead on safety standards and shared-space operations. For Agility's public wording, use the 6 November post and then the linked GeekWire conversation for Hurst's full quotes.
