Company Overview
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Apptronik is developing general-purpose humanoid robots designed to work safely alongside people in industrial and logistics environments. The company originated as a spin-out from the University of Texas at Austin’s Human Centered Robotics Lab.
Apptronik’s flagship robot, Apollo, is a full-size, battery-powered humanoid built to perform physical and cognitive tasks in human-designed spaces. The company aims to make robotics practical, scalable, and accessible for everyday work.
Key pillars of Apptronik’s business include:
Apollo humanoid platform: human-sized robot capable of handling up to 25 kg (≈55 lbs) payloads.
Human-safe design: battery-powered operation with built-in sensing and control systems for safe collaboration.
Industrial partnerships: collaborations with major manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz and Jabil.
Research heritage: foundation in robotics research from NASA and the University of Texas.
The Problem
Industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing face chronic labor shortages and rising operating costs.
Traditional automation remains rigid and unable to adapt to complex, human-centered environments.
There is increasing demand for general-purpose robots capable of performing a wide variety of physical tasks safely alongside people.
The Solution
Apollo: a human-scale, mobile humanoid robot built to assist with repetitive, physically demanding, or unsafe tasks.
Modular hardware and software stack: adaptable to different environments and applications.
Industrial deployments: early pilots with global manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz, to test real-world factory use cases.
Scalable production: partnership with manufacturing specialist Jabil to expand production capacity.
Market Opportunity
The global humanoid robotics sector is projected to grow rapidly through 2030, driven by advances in AI, hardware costs, and industrial automation needs.
Apptronik targets use-cases in logistics, manufacturing, and industrial automation; markets with strong demand for human-compatible robotic systems.
As humanoid platforms progress toward commercialization, Apptronik is positioned within one of the fastest-growing robotics categories worldwide.
Traction & Validation
Series A Funding: $350 million raised in 2025, led by B Capital Group and Capital Factory, with participation from Google/DeepMind.
Strategic Partnership: Mercedes-Benz took an equity stake and began testing Apollo in manufacturing environments.
NASA Collaboration: Apptronik has worked with NASA on modular and human-safe robotics under government research contracts.
Production Scaling: Partnership with Jabil to accelerate assembly and commercial rollout.
Experienced Leadership: Founders and engineers with backgrounds in NASA and DARPA-funded robotics programs.
Intellectual Property & Strategic Assets
Proprietary actuator and motion-control architecture enabling efficient, human-like movement.
Integrated hardware-software design allowing rapid adaptation across industries.
Vertical manufacturing partnership framework for scalable deployment.
Accumulated operational data from industrial pilots for continued AI training and refinement.
Business Model & Financial Highlights
Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS): Apptronik plans subscription-based access to humanoid systems, reducing upfront costs.
Industrial Contracts: Revenue from pilot programs and long-term manufacturing agreements.
Research & Development Funding: Government and commercial partnerships supporting innovation.
Future Expansion: Scaling Apollo into logistics, manufacturing, and field operations.
