Austin, Texas humanoid robotics company; builds the Apollo robot and runs pilots with Mercedes-Benz, GXO Logistics, and Jabil.
Apptronik is a humanoid robotics company based in Austin, Texas, that originated as a spinout from the University of Texas at Austin's Human Centered Robotics Lab. The company designs full-stack humanoid robot hardware and software intended for physically demanding, repetitive, or hazardous work in manufacturing, warehousing, and retail settings.
Its product, Apollo, is a modular humanoid robot offered with bipedal and wheeled mobility configurations, built for material handling, line-side manufacturing tasks, inspection, and warehouse picking and packing. Apollo runs an AI-based learning system that lets it acquire new skills over time and includes fleet-management tools intended to let operators deploy and monitor multiple units across a site. Apptronik has established commercial and pilot relationships with Mercedes-Benz for automotive assembly work, GXO Logistics for warehouse operations, and Jabil for electronics manufacturing, and lists Google DeepMind and NVIDIA among its technology partners.
The company received an IEEE Robotics and Automation Society product innovation award in 2025 and was named to CNBC's Disruptor 50 list in 2026. Apptronik has raised venture funding from investors that include Google and Mercedes-Benz to support Apollo's continued development and deployment.
