Overview

Apptronik Apollo is an Austin, Texas-based humanoid that leverages over 12 years of NASA and DARPA robotics research. With a 25 kg payload — the highest of any humanoid — and a hot-swap battery system exchangeable in seconds for near-continuous operation, Apollo is designed specifically for logistics and manufacturing environments. Backed by Samsung and Google, and with partnerships including GXO Logistics, Apollo is one of the most enterprise-ready humanoids available. The NASA heritage shows in its safety-first design: robust force/torque sensing and collision detection throughout. Apollo pilot programs are actively running in distribution centers across the United States.
