SUMMARY:
Apollo is a 1.73 m, 72.6 kg general‑purpose humanoid robot built by Apptronik for real‑world industrial deployment, featuring a 25 kg payload, hot‑swappable 4‑hour battery packs, and a modular design that supports stationary, wheeled, or fully bipedal mobility. It is engineered for logistics, manufacturing, and human‑safe collaboration.
EDITORIAL:
Apollo represents Apptronik’s most ambitious step toward a commercially viable, human‑compatible humanoid robot. Developed from the company’s experience building more than ten prior platforms—including work on NASA’s Valkyrie—Apollo is designed for the environments where humanoids are needed most: warehouses, factories, and logistics centers. Its modular architecture allows it to operate on legs, wheels, or fixed bases, giving companies flexibility in deployment while maintaining a consistent software and actuator stack.
What sets Apollo apart is its focus on mass manufacturability, safety, and high payload performance. With a 25 kg payload, advanced linear electric actuators, and hot‑swappable 4‑hour battery packs, Apollo is engineered for continuous operation alongside human workers. Its friendly design, intuitive LED‑based interaction system, and robust perception stack position it as one of the most practical humanoids entering the commercial market.
