Through the Line Podcast: Humanoid Robots in Packaging
This episode is a conversation between Associate Editor Casey Flanagan and Melonee Wise, former chief product officer at Agility Robotics. Wise participated in this report while in her former role but left the company in late summer 2025. They discuss the company's Digit Humanoid Robot and new features for connecting with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), improved safety for human collaboration, and its potential to add flexibility to packaging operations.
Humanoid robots like Apptronik's Apollo are capable of completing repetitive tasks on the CPG plant floor, like repetitive lifting or material replenishment.
