Apollo

Overview

Apollo is Apptronik’s commercially focused humanoid robot platform designed for industrial logistics and manufacturing applications. The robot was developed for tasks such as material movement, warehouse operations, and repetitive industrial workflows in environments designed for humans.

Apollo stands 5 feet 8 inches (approximately 173 cm) tall and weighs 160 pounds (approximately 73 kg), per Apptronik’s August 2023 launch announcement. Payload capacity is 55 pounds (approximately 25 kg). Batteries are swappable with a four-hour runtime per pack. The robot uses stereoscopic cameras as its primary vision system, with an E Ink mouth display and an OLED chest display for communicating status to human co-workers. Apptronik has not publicly disclosed degree-of-freedom count, joint torque specifications, or compute details.

Apollo’s actuation system uses Apptronik’s patented in-house actuators, rated at over 90% energy efficiency per the company. The design is modular: the torso can operate on bipedal legs, a wheeled base, or in a stationary mounted configuration. Apptronik states the design eliminates single-sourced core components to improve supply chain resilience — a deliberate contrast to competitors that rely on proprietary parts from a single supplier. AI runs on Artemis, Apptronik’s perception, planning, and control software stack, with a strategic partnership with Google DeepMind for foundation model development using Gemini Robotics.

Apptronik unveiled Apollo 2 on June 30, 2026, describing it as the current production version of the platform. Confirmed commercial deployments include Mercedes-Benz and GXO Logistics. Apptronik opened an expanded Robot Park facility in Austin, Texas in June 2026 — a roughly 90,000 sq ft data collection and training facility for humanoid robots. The company has raised $935 million in Series A funding at a valuation of over $5 billion, per Apptronik’s own press releases. No public pricing has been disclosed.
