How we rate our robots

Each robot is scored from 0 to 100 on five traits, based on its real specs. When in doubt we score low, never flattering.

  • Strength — Lifting capacity, payload and raw power — how heavy a load it can handle.
  • Dexterity — Fine motor skills: hands, manipulation precision and speed of movement.
  • Autonomy — How long and how independently it runs — battery life and self-direction.
  • Empathy — Social & emotional skills: voice, expressions and interaction with people.
  • IQ — On-board intelligence: perception, reasoning and ability to learn.

If it were human

“Like a seasoned logistics manager who shows up on time, lifts heavy boxes all day, and never complains about the shift.”

Apollo is a full-sized industrial humanoid robot standing 1.7 m tall and weighing 73 kg, built by Austin-based Apptronik and unveiled in 2023. Designed from the ground up for the realities of factory and warehouse life, it can handle payloads of up to 25 kg — enough to manage most boxes, parts, and pallets that keep supply chains moving.

What sets Apollo apart is its no-nonsense engineering for real workplaces. Its battery is hot-swappable, meaning a fresh pack can be slotted in without downtime, delivering roughly 4 hours of continuous operation per charge. Its modular architecture makes maintenance and upgrades straightforward — a critical advantage when you need reliability on a live production line. Apptronik has already secured partnerships with Mercedes-Benz and logistics giant GXO, putting Apollo to work in genuine industrial environments.

Safety around people was a core design requirement, not an afterthought. Apollo is built to operate collaboratively alongside human workers on factory floors, respecting both physical safety margins and the unpredictable rhythms of real-world work. It won’t win a poetry contest, but it will show up every shift, carry its weight, and slot smoothly into the workflow.

At the agency, Apollo is our go-to candidate for any operation that needs a dependable physical presence on a production or logistics floor. If your facility is ready to welcome a hardworking, human-scale robot partner, Apollo is ready to clock in.
