While it may seem like a plot straight out of Science fiction or from a distant world, the conception of humanoids performing domestic tasks is becoming a possible reality.
This audacious vision is pursued by the team at the robotics startup Apptronik, based in Austin, in the United States. The most recent launch, the humanoid robot named Apollo, was revealed to the public last Wednesday, 23.

Designed with a stature similar to that of a human being, the Apollo it measures 1.7 meters in height and has a weight of 72.6 kilograms. Meet Apollo!
Apollo, endowed with remarkable abilities, is able to lift up to 25 kilos. Defined as the most “friendly”, with the appearance that is not scary, it has become a great investment in robotics.
Its engineering was meticulously planned to allow scale production, enabling such humanoids to work safely in collaboration with humans.

One of the incredible features of the Apollo is its battery, which offers a four-hour autonomy, allowing it to work tirelessly for the estimated period.
Furthermore, flexibility is emphasized by the replaceability, allowing the battery to be swapped out to extend operation over a full 22-hour working day.
With the aim of eliminating possible discomforts in relation to the appearance of robots, the company Argodesign made efforts to give Apollo attributes that seem welcoming and even friendly.
The robot's chest is equipped with digital panels that offer direct and clear communication with information about:
Remaining battery life;
Running task;
Estimated time to completion;
Next actions to be taken.
Initially, the Apptronik team's initial intention was to use the robot for activities logistics, taking on physically demanding jobs inside warehouses in order to optimize the supply chain supplies.
The company establishes a strategic partnership with NASA, joining forces in the development of innovative humanoid robot projects.
While Earth serves as a testing ground for Apollo, there is a retrospective look at the horizon, for a future in which an improved version of the robot can be used in space environments challenging.
The goal is clear: to create a resource competent to operate in dangerous conditions in space, eliminating the need to expose humans to risks.
