🎯 A major milestone on the road to embodied intelligence. This week, Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics VLA reaches an important milestone in our joint mission to bring AGI into the physical world. By introducing agentic capabilities - the ability to reason, plan, actively use tools, and generalize - we’re moving beyond reactive models and into a new era of robotic autonomy. We’re proud to be collaborating on Gemini Robotics 1.5 with Google as we gear up to deploy Gemini-powered Apollo humanoid robots in additional customer facilities. It’s a critical step in transforming a powerful model into a field-ready system that performs with consistency, reliability, and purpose.

🚀Big day for robotics + AI! 🤖🧠 Huge congrats to NVIDIA on the official launch of Jetson Thor! ⚡ At Apptronik, we’ve had the incredible opportunity to get early access to the NVIDIA Jetson Thor AGX Developer Kit over the past few weeks, and we can confidently say it’s a game-changer for humanoid robotics. Thor’s massive computational power, increased speed, and better energy efficiency unlocks new possibilities for #Apollo as we make strides across industries like automotive manufacturing, third-party logistics, and consumer packaged goods. We’re especially excited about Thor’s enhanced safety capabilities that will enable Apollo to pursue the next generation of safety technologies and leading edge humanoid functional safety concepts. This is a new era for AI-powered humanoid robots, and we're proud to be building at the frontier. 👏Congratulations again to the entire #NVIDIARobotics team on this milestone! 👏 #NVIDIARobotics #NVIDIAJetson #JetsonAGXThor #HumanoidRobotics #AI #RoboticsInnovation #Apptronik #ApolloRobot

At Apptronik, we are committed to transparency and security. We have recently been made aware that unknown parties are impersonating recruiters purportedly working on behalf of Apptronik by sending fraudulent outreach via LinkedIn offering “board seats”, advisory roles, or career opportunities. These scams may include attempts to collect personal or financial information, or to get the target to download and install unknown applications.

Humans are toolmakers. We build tools to help us do more with less. We have built Apollo to dramatically improve the way we live and work. But Apollo is not the only ground-breaking creation born from our labs. Our teams have been quietly building a new kind of machine - a machine with superhuman capabilities. This is not just automation, this is power, redefined. Introducing Elevate Robotics Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Apptronik, focused on superhuman industrial automation. 

Exciting news! We're honored to be named to CNBC's #Disruptor50 - a list of trailblazing startups transforming the world. From capable humanoid robots to breakthrough AI, we're proud to be shaping the future of automation. Huge thanks to our team for pushing boundaries every day! 🚀 🤖 🙌 See the full list at https://lnkd.in/eXRZAa8C #apptronik #ai #humanoid #humanoidrobot #robotics

On behalf all of us at Apptronik, we are honored to accept the 2025 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Award for Product Innovation, for our efforts to build the world's most intelligent and capable humanoid robot, Apollo!
