Apptronik Apollo

Common

A general-purpose humanoid robot from the US company Apptronik, aimed at logistics and manufacturing.

Apollo is the humanoid robot the Texas-based company Apptronik released in 2023: about 1.73 meters tall, roughly 73 kg, with a payload of about 25 kg, designed for carrying boxes and totes in warehouses and factories, with a swappable battery. Apptronik grew out of a robotics lab at the University of Texas at Austin, and Apollo uses in-house electric actuators. Apollo 2, released in June 2026, comes in both bipedal and wheeled-base configurations and is positioned as a training and data platform, reportedly with 35 degrees of freedom, 12 of them in the hands; fleets running at the company's Robot Park site and at customer locations continuously collect real-world data, feeding a partnership with Google DeepMind to train the Gemini Robotics model family. The company reportedly designated Apollo 3 as its first fully commercial product, targeted for 2027.

ExampleApptronik partnered with Mercedes-Benz to pilot Apollo carrying parts totes at one of its factories.
