Reported control modes
These modes apply only to the sourced capabilities listed here, not to the robot as a whole.

Apptronik unveiled Apollo, targeting an end-of-2024 release for warehouse and manufacturing tasks.8
Not reviewed
The cited source has not been reviewed for this specific claim.
Mercedes-Benz began testing Apollo at a Hungarian manufacturing plant under a pilot agreement; photos show a physical unit on site, but the article notes scale and scope were unclear.9

Delivery evidence without an exact delivery date
A source publication or review date is not a confirmed receipt day.
- Mercedes-Benz says Apollo units were present at its Digital Factory Campus and collecting data in a production environment by its 18 March 2025 publication. The source does not identify their hardware generation or establish an arrival day, transaction type, or quantity.6
Evidence review: supported
The cited source was reviewed and supports this specific claim. This does not establish independent truth.
- Reason
- Mercedes-Benz customer-primary text supports physical Apollo pilot presence at its facility; it does not identify a hardware generation, exact arrival day, unit count, or sale.

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: Mercedes-Benz’s 18 March 2025 report names Apollo at its Digital Factory Campus and describes on-site production-environment data collection on its own channel. This supports a named physical customer pilot of Apollo, while the hardware generation, exact handover date, sale, count, and scaled deployment remain unproven. The former media.mbusa.com URL returned 404; the cited Mercedes-Benz group page is accessible.
- 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.
- actuator_torque_nm, battery_wh, charge_time_min, sdk, warranty, and order_type remain omitted for lack of sourced figures; Apollo was offered through enterprise pilots. The Mercedes-Benz first-demo event retains its automotive sector; no dated delivery event is asserted.
- locomotion left out (2026-09-21): this record covers the original 2023 Apollo generation, not the later modular Apollo 2 (which apptronik.com/apollo/apollo-2 explicitly offers as "a bipedal configuration" or "a wheeled base"). The Robot Report's 2023 unveil article and the Mercedes-Benz Digital Factory Campus Berlin-Marienfelde press release/MANUS glove coverage used for this record's shipped status do not state which mobility base was used on site. No literal quote pins the original Apollo or its Mercedes deployment to legs vs. wheels, so the field stays empty per the task's Apollo special case (use what the source says about the Mercedes deployment, else omit).
Record history
- Apptronik Apollo: First customer delivery removed: source did not support value (was "Pilot at Mercedes-Benz Digital Factory Campus Berlin-Marienfelde: Mercedes-Benz's own press release confirms Apollo units are physically on site collecting production data, published with photos on Mercedes-Benz's own media channel.") source
- Apptronik Apollo: locomotion removed: source did not support value (was bipedal) source
- Apptronik Apollo: media added — Figure 1 from Apptronik's design patent for a robotic upper body. source
- Apptronik Apollo: battery_swappable added: yes (claimed) source
- Apptronik Apollo: locomotion added: bipedal (claimed) source
- Apptronik Apollo: capability "teleoperation-shown" added (demonstrated, teleoperated) source
