About
Apptronik emerged from the Human Centered Robotics Lab at UT Austin and has deep NASA ties through development of the Valkyrie robot and Space Exploration Suit actuators. This heritage gives Apollo's actuator technology exceptional force control fidelity and reliability benchmarks established through space-qualified hardware programs. Google's lead investment in the $350M Series A in late 2024, combined with an early 2026 500-unit commercial contract, positions Apptronik as the most commercially advanced American humanoid company outside of Tesla and Figure AI.
