It’s rare that a robotics demo genuinely stops you in your tracks. But watching a robot peel an apple, with two human-like hands, in real time, without crushing the frui, is exactly that kind of moment. This isn’t a stunt. It’s proof that contact-rich, bimanual manipulation is finally within reach for modern robotic systems. The…
Apollo 2 is a modular humanoid robot from Apptronik designed for practical work in human environments. Its core idea is adaptability: the same system can operate as a walking biped or switch to a wheeled base when stability and steady throughput matter more. The robot stands 173 centimeters tall, weighs 75 kilograms, reaches speeds up…
