Humanoid robot with highest operational time in tests by US logistics giant
GXO has partnered with Apptronik to explore Apollo humanoid robot's use in warehouses. Apollo is the first commercial humanoid robot that was designed for friendly interaction and mass manufacturability.
The companies claimed that together, they are evaluating the overall performance of the robot in a lab setting to further fine-tune Apptronik’s AI model before deploying the technology to a U.S. distribution center once ready. “Our mission is to build versatile robots that can do work in real-world applications – from large, powerful movements like transporting boxes and totes to small, precise ones like picking individual items or scanning barcodes,” said Jeff Cardenas, co-founder & CEO of Apptronik. The company claims that Apollo will operate in warehouses and manufacturing plants in the near term eventually extending into construction, oil and gas, electronics production, retail, home delivery, elder care and countless more areas.
