Jinki Ittai was designed for constructions sites, while NASA x Apptronik’s Apollo is a Quick Development Humanoid (QDH) robot mad for future space missions. This general-purpose robot is capable of various tasks in dynamic environments when not in space, including jobs in logistics, retail, hospitality and beyond.
This current prototype stands 5-foot, 8-inches and weighs in at 165-pounds. It’s capable of walking and lifting loads of up to 55-pounds. The production Apollo robot is set to be publicly unveiled later this year, with pre-orders beginning shortly after. However, you may not see it in space until the later half of this decade, as the first deliveries are expected to begin next year.

Continued investment from NASA validates the work we are doing at Apptronik and the inflection point we have reached in robotics. The robots we’ve all dreamed about are now here and ready to get out into the world. These robots will first become tools for us here on Earth, and will ultimately help us move beyond and explore the stars,” said Jeff Cardenas, CEO and co-founder of Apptronik.
