Apptronik Apollo
A versatile humanoid designed for both warehouse and home environments. Apollo brings a compact, human-scale form factor with compliance-first actuation for safe interaction.
Vesoma 1
Vesoma 1 is a 170 cm humanoid robot under development by Vesoma for physical work in manufacturing, logistics and warehousing. It learns tasks through self-improvement via reinforcement learning from its own physical interactions rather than human demonstrations. First prototypes have walked using a learned locomotion policy, with initial units now being built.
