Notes
- Apptronik's own site (apptronik.com/apollo) returned no fetchable content during this research session; all specs here are sourced from The Robot Report's launch and Mercedes-Benz pilot coverage instead.
- Shipped bar applied (2026-09-20): Mercedes-Benz's own press release (media.mbusa.com, 2025-03-18) names Mercedes-Benz Digital Factory Campus Berlin-Marienfelde as the site, confirms Apollo units are physically present and collecting production data, and is published with a photo gallery on Mercedes-Benz's own media channel. Per this site's shipped rule (named customer + image via customer's or an independent channel; invoice/serial/unboxing/customs are alternatives, not an added requirement), this qualifies as shipped with 'pilot' noted in the detail, since Mercedes-Benz itself frames it as testing. Upgraded from demonstrated to shipped; an earlier note here required an invoice/serial/unboxing/customs record in addition to the photo, which was too strict, and is removed.
- The separate GXO/Apptronik relationship (gxo.com, Aug 2024) does not clear the same bar: GXO's own news page (https://gxo.com/news_article/shaping-supply-chains-with-humanoid-technology/) lists Apollo alongside Digit and 'Reflex' but describes GXO as still evaluating Apollo in a lab setting before any live-facility deployment, unlike Digit which GXO describes as already live -- so Apollo-at-GXO is not treated as a second shipped delivery here; the Mercedes-Benz pilot is what carries this record to shipped.
