Robot Brief

Apollo is a general-purpose humanoid robot developed by Apptronik, designed to operate safely and efficiently alongside humans in real-world environments such as warehouses, logistics centers, and industrial facilities. Standing about 1.73 meters (5'8") tall and weighing approximately 72.6 kilograms (160 lbs), Apollo replicates human size and capabilities, enabling it to perform a wide range of tasks that require dexterity, endurance, and strength. It can carry payloads up to 25 kilograms (55 lbs) and operate continuously for up to 4 hours on a swappable battery pack, allowing extended work shifts with minimal downtime. Designed with a modular architecture, Apollo can be customized for various industrial and service applications, including loading/unloading, palletizing, material transport, and eldercare assistance. Its design, created by Argodesign, balances approachability and functionality to avoid the uncanny valley effect, featuring digital chest panels for clear communication and intentional, human-like movements. Apollo embodies over 13 generations of Apptronik’s proprietary electric actuators, emphasizing reliability, reduced complexity, and cost efficiency.

‍

Use Cases

Apollo performs physically demanding and repetitive tasks such as lifting, carrying, loading, unloading, and palletizing objects in human-centric workspaces. It autonomously navigates complex environments, interacts safely with people, and communicates its status through digital displays and expressive movements. The robot’s modular battery system enables continuous operation by swapping depleted batteries with charged ones. Apollo is designed to reduce human physical strain and labor shortages in logistics and manufacturing while being adaptable for future applications in eldercare, hospitality, and even space exploration.

‍

Industries

Warehousing & Logistics: Automates material handling, palletizing, and package movement to improve efficiency.

Manufacturing: Supports assembly lines and production workflows with heavy lifting and transport.

Eldercare: Assists with physical tasks and companionship in healthcare settings.

Hospitality: Potential for service roles requiring human-like interaction and task execution.

Space Exploration: Long-term vision includes deployment in extraterrestrial environments.
