Overview

Apollo 2 is a versatile and capable tool designed for the intersection of advanced hardware and embodied AI systems, contributing to real-world work situations with its modular design allowing for either bipedal configuration or a wheeled base.

This advanced system enables movement through spaces built for people, while providing stability and efficiency in high-throughput environments. Developed to be a powerful platform for the upcoming generation of AI, its humanoid form, precise manipulation, and real-world mobility make it ideal for robotics foundation models that can perceive, think, and take action.

Apollo 2's functionality is further showcased in collaborations with Google DeepMind and Gemini Robotics, underpinning the opportunities presented when cutting-edge AI is combined with purpose-built robotics hardware.

These machines are more universal, more interactive, and better equipped to navigate the world around us, providing autonomous action, reasoning, human interaction, and dexterous manipulation.

Apollo 2 also focuses on human-robot interaction with features to communicate clearly with humans through expressive LED displays, coordinated lighting, speech and listening capabilities, and a built-in chest display providing necessary information.

Moreover, Apollo 2 uses Apptroniks patented actuator technology for high performing actuation and real-world strength.
