Apptronik builds Apollo, a modular humanoid designed from the start for mass manufacture. As of the Week of November 9, 2026 board, Apptronik ranks sixth on the Androids.com Robot Rankings.
Apptronik grew out of years of exoskeleton and robotics research, including work on NASA's Valkyrie. Apollo carries a 25 kg payload and has a swappable battery for continuous factory and warehouse shifts. Apollo 2 is the showcase body for Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2.

Apollo is in pilot with three partners. It has worked on Mercedes-Benz automotive lines since late 2025 and is moving into GXO logistics operations. In August 2026 Jabil agreed to help scale Apollo production and to deploy Apollo inside its own plants, eventually including the lines that assemble Apollos. That deal turns a pilot into something closer to a manufacturing partnership.
Apptronik has raised more than $935 million in Series A funding. That includes a $520 million extension in February 2026, with Google among the investors, at a reported valuation of about $5 billion.
