Apptronik’s Apollo in Trial Phase at Mercedes Factory
Apptronik’s humanoid robot Apollo is being tested for logistics applications at a Mercedes-Benz factory and has not yet entered operational use.
What happened
According to a report by startupfortune.com on June 25, 2026, Apptronik’s Apollo is being tested at a Mercedes-Benz factory, and its operational deployment has not been confirmed. Mercedes announced in March 2024 that it was considering Apollo for logistics applications.
Why it matters
The planned logistics application involves using Apollo to carry parts to workers at Mercedes-Benz manufacturing sites. The robot is at the stage of being evaluated for repetitive tasks near the production line, with the focus on operational conditions inside the factory rather than a visual demonstration.
