Apptronik, an Austin-based robotics start-up, has revealed its latest humanoid robot, Apollo. Standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, Apollo is designed for mass production and safe human-robot collaboration. Unlike traditional robots, Apollo uses electricity instead of hydraulics, making it both safer and more efficient.
Apollo is equipped with a four-hour battery life that can be easily exchanged for continuous use up to 22 hours, allowing it to perform physically demanding and dangerous tasks, improving supply chains and reducing human risk.
To ensure that Apollo is accessible and friendly, Austin-based company Argodesign has equipped the robot with features such as digital panels on its chest for clear communication, intentional movements like head rotation, and a friendly face.
