Overview

• Apptronik has signed a strategic partnership with Jabil to test and produce its humanoid robot, Apollo, in a real-world factory setting.
• Jabil's factories will initially use Apollo robots for repetitive tasks like inspection, sorting, and assembly, supporting human workers by freeing up time for more complex projects.
• The Apollo robots, designed for scalability and cost efficiency, may eventually be used to assist in manufacturing additional robots if testing proves successful.
• Apptronik's collaboration with Jabil follows earlier agreements with companies like Mercedes-Benz, highlighting growing interest in humanoid robots for industrial applications.
• The partnership reflects broader advancements in humanoid robotics, with competitors like Figure also accelerating development and testing in both industrial and home use cases.
