$50,000PilotDesigned for warehouses and manufacturing plants, Apollo is a humanoid robot from Apptronik. It is listed as a prototype.
Apollo is Apptronik’s industrial humanoid platform, first shown publicly in August 2023. As of June 1, 2026, Apollo remains the company’s active, iterating platform—no separate “Gen” naming is publicly used—positioned for materials handling and lineside logistics in factories and warehouses. Early specs and positioning come from the 2023 unveil. (axios.com)
From 2024 onward, Apollo enters real pilots and strategic tech tie‑ups. Apptronik and Mercedes‑Benz announce a pilot for intralogistics tasks on the automaker’s factory floor (March 15, 2024). In the same week, Apptronik joins NVIDIA’s Project GR00T ecosystem to accelerate skill learning, and by June 20, 2024, GXO begins a multi‑phase proof‑of‑concept in warehouse settings. In December 2024, Apptronik signs a strategic partnership with Google DeepMind’s robotics team. (prnewswire.com)
In 2025–2026, Apollo appears in public demos and expands pilots while Apptronik raises significant capital to scale. Apollo is demonstrated at CES 2025; in February 2025 the company closes a $350M Series A and announces a Jabil pilot that also makes Jabil a manufacturing partner, with Apptronik targeting 2026 for commercial unit production. On February 11, 2026, Apptronik adds a $520M Series A‑X extension, bringing its Series A total above $935M, and in April 2026 the firm highlights executive hires to speed commercialization.
