Apollo — the world's most connected humanoid robot, built for enterprise manufacturing with NASA-grade engineering.
Apptronik is an Austin-based robotics company born from NASA's Johnson Space Center and the University of Texas Human Centered Robotics Lab. Its founding team built some of the world's most advanced space robotics systems before turning their expertise to commercial humanoid robots for industry.
Apollo, Apptronik's flagship humanoid, is distinguished by its enterprise-grade connectivity and AI stack. Partnered with Google, NVIDIA, and Mercedes-Benz, Apollo runs the NVIDIA GR00T foundation model and Google DeepMind's Gemini AI — giving it some of the most advanced reasoning and manipulation capabilities available in a commercial robot. The hot-swappable battery system allows 24/7 continuous operation in factories.
In February 2026, Apptronik closed a landmark $935 million Series A round at a $5.5 billion valuation — one of the largest Series A rounds in technology history. Apollo is already deployed at Mercedes-Benz factories and GXO Logistics, with production scaling aggressively to meet enterprise demand.
