APOLLO: REVOLUTIONARY HUMANOID ROBOT
The Apptronik Apollo price has not been published as a public figure, because Apollo is sold to enterprises through commercial pilot programs rather than as an off-the-shelf consumer product, with industry estimates placing comparable general purpose humanoids in the low tens of thousands of dollars per unit at scale. Apollo is a general purpose humanoid robot built by Apptronik, standing 5'8" tall, weighing 160 lbs, lifting a 55 lb payload, and running for roughly four hours on each hot-swappable battery pack. It draws on Apptronik's experience building more than ten previous robots, including work tied to NASA's Valkyrie programme, and is aimed at warehouses, manufacturing plants, logistics, retail, and eventually elder care.
How much does the Apptronik Apollo cost?
Apptronik has not released a single fixed sticker price for Apollo. The robot is being introduced through enterprise pilots with logistics and manufacturing partners, where pricing depends on fleet size, deployment scope, and service agreements rather than a one-off purchase. For buyers researching the Apptronik Apollo cost or whether the unit is for sale, the practical answer in this early commercial phase is that Apollo is offered as a deployed, supported fleet asset for industrial operators, with broader availability expanding as production scales. Apptronik has framed its goal as delivering an affordable, reliable, mass-manufacturable humanoid, which is why so much of the design effort went into building the actuators and electronics in-house.
Apptronik Apollo specifications: height, weight, payload and battery life
Apollo's headline specifications are deliberately tuned for human spaces. The robot is 5'8" (about 1.75 m) tall and weighs 160 lbs (around 72 to 75 kg), a footprint close to an average adult worker so it can operate in environments designed for people. The Apptronik Apollo payload is 55 lbs (25 kg), which it can lift, carry, and place during tasks such as case picking and palletization. On battery life, each hot-swappable pack delivers roughly a four-hour runtime, and because packs can be swapped in seconds rather than waiting for a plug-in charge, Apollo can be kept working across long industrial shifts. According to Apptronik's official Apollo page, the platform is built from the ground up, including its own actuators, to make this performance repeatable at production volume.
A modular design that adapts to any workspace
Apollo's design is modular, allowing it to be mounted to any mobility platform, whether stationary or fully mobile on legs. Its most distinctive feature is intuitive interaction: LEDs in the head, mouth, and chest work together to communicate the robot's status to nearby workers. The hot-swappable battery system means a simple pack change keeps Apollo running, and for continuous operation it can also be plugged in or tethered. As IEEE Spectrum reported, Apptronik designed Apollo around case and tote handling first, the kind of repetitive, physically taxing work that is hard to staff.
Is the Apptronik Apollo safe to work near humans?
Safety is a paramount aspect of Apollo's architecture. The robot uses Apptronik's advanced force control system to provide safe movement around people, and its behavior adjusts according to the surrounding zone and the presence of objects. Apollo automatically pauses any movement when it detects a moving object within its impact radius, which lets it share a working environment with human colleagues. Combined with intuitive software and the hot-swappable battery packs, Apollo is positioned to excel at trailer unloading, case picking, palletization, machine tending, and workcell delivery, transforming operations across many sectors.
