Our Work

While there are a million forms of special purpose automation that do one or two tasks, humanoid robots are the only form of automation that will be able to do millions of tasks and be able to task switch whenever required.

Apollo was designed to work with humans and do the tasks that humans don’t want to do including heavy repetitive lifting, trailer unloading, downstacking, case picking, etc.

Apollo wasn’t the first robot we built or even the fifth robot. Apollo was developed from decades of experience across robots spanning from exoskeletons to upper body humanoid robots to biped mobility platforms to unique robotic arms that lift more than they weigh.

hese robots and the experience and learning from building them provide the building blocks of Apollo, the world’s most advanced humanoid robot.

Astra

Apptronik’s latest upper body humanoid robot. It is designed to operate with and around humans. It has state-of-the-art actuation packed into a small form factor and can be put on any mobility platform.

QDA

Upper Body Control Testbed​

Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit aliquet. Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue.

Quick Development Biped

Apptronik’s latest biped mobility platform. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Aenean lacinia bibendum nulla sed consectetur. Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur et.

Draco II & III

Draco is Apptronik’s first biped. It is a liquid cooled, high-performance bipedal platform. The system has 10 DOFs and can be a platform for any humanoid system, with easy integration between systems because of the open access to low level control software and libraries for RT Linux/ROS integration. Draco is designed for speed and power. It is efficient, and research on it was key to unlocking agile dynamic walking.

Valkerie

Agile Load Bearing Exoskeleton

The Apptronik team was selected to work on the NASA Valkyrie Robot for the DARPA Robotics Challenge during 2012-2013.

Valkyrie was a highly ambitious project, and Apptronik’s co-founders were selected to be part of the core team to work on the actuators and controls.

Apptronik's novel linear actuators are incorporated through out the Valkyrie robot, and lessons learned from this project helped to inform the latest generation of our technologies.

Valkyrie has 44 DOFs, and most of its joints have series elastic actuators.
