Apptronik

Apptronik's March 2024 announcement describes a Mercedes-Benz commercial agreement for Apollo manufacturing pilots exploring assembly-kit delivery and component inspection.

Apptronik operates Robot Park sites and customer deployments where fleets of Apollo 2 humanoids continuously collect real-world data across multiple tasks and environments, but large-scale commercial rollout remains earlier than mature robotics operators.

Apptronik documents its founders' contribution to NASA Valkyrie's actuator and controller development, including series-elastic joints and linear-actuator technology, adding a specific historical robotics engineering contribution beyond Gemini Robotics collaboration.

Apollo 2 is designed as a general-purpose humanoid platform for embodied AI and foundation models, with Apptronik partnering with Google DeepMind on Gemini Robotics and large-scale real-world training.

Apptronik and Jabil announced a February 25, 2025 manufacturing pilot and strategic collaboration: Jabil is Apollo's worldwide manufacturing partner, with factory validation tasks and supply-chain, procurement and inventory support.

Apptronik closed more than $935M in Series A funding in 2026 with backing from Google, Mercedes-Benz, John Deere and others to scale production and deployment of Apollo humanoids.

Apptronik's Apollo 2 description documents actuator design targeting maintainability and mass manufacturability, plus swappable batteries, opportunity charging and tethering for sustained operation. These concrete mechatronic lifecycle and energy-system design practices add transferable engineering detail beyond existing general humanoid-role breadth.

Apptronik work spans humanoid hardware, dexterous manipulation, embodied AI, robot data collection, mobility, control and foundation-model integration, creating highly portable robotics skills with humanoid specialization.
