Apptronik opened a Robot Park in Austin where its Apollo humanoid robots practice real tasks like loading boxes and sorting items. The nearly 90,000-square-foot facility serves as a data factory for training AI models. Robots are often remotely controlled during practice sessions to generate training data. Apptronik has raised about $1 billion and reached a $5.5 billion valuation with investors including Google DeepMind and Mercedes. The company develops both legged and wheeled versions of Apollo. Apollo 2 features upgraded batteries, motors, and sensors. The startup sees humanoids moving from lab demos to commercial pilots in factories and service roles. Additional Robot Parks are planned at customer sites worldwide.
