Apollo 2
Manufactured by Apptronik
Apollo 2 is a next-generation modular humanoid robot engineered for the demanding realities of warehouse logistics and manufacturing. Standing 5'8" (172 cm) tall and weighing 160 lbs (73 kg), it matches human scale to operate safely alongside workers. The robot features a swappable battery architecture enabling approximately 4 hours of operation per pack, supporting continuous "7x22" workflows with minimal downtime. It can lift and carry payloads up to 55 lbs (25 kg), making it ideal for moving crates, totes, and boxes. Apollo 2 supports dual mobility modes: bipedal legs for human environments and a wheeled base for warehouse floors. Powered by Apptronik's proprietary high-efficiency actuators and a three-layer software stack including Artemis motion control, it targets six key applications such as goods-to-person retrieval, packout, and machine tending.
