Austin-based Apptronik officially launched Apollo 2, available in both bipedal and wheeled configurations. The robot collects training data across logistics, manufacturing, and retail scenarios within the company's newly expanded 90,000-square-foot robotics campus. This data feeds directly into Google DeepMind's Gemini robotics foundation model, and validated solutions will carry over to the commercial Apollo 3.
