Description

Apptronik's bipedal general-purpose humanoid, unveiled August 2023, standing 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) and weighing 72.6 kg with a 25 kg payload capacity and 4-hour hot-swappable battery. Commercial pilots launched in 2024 with Mercedes-Benz (assembly kit delivery and component inspection at German production facilities), GXO Logistics (trailer unloading and lineside delivery), and Jabil (inspection, sorting, and kitting; Jabil also manufactures Apollo units). Apollo was superseded by Apollo 2 in June 2026, which introduced bipedal and wheeled configurations and a 90,000 sq ft Robot Park data-collection facility in Austin, Texas.
