Humanoid robots are starting to work side by side with actual people in warehouses for the first time, moving heavy boxes and containers.
- Apollo, a new humanoid robot, is a 5-foot, 8-inch tall, all-electric that can lift 55 pounds (see it in action here).
Apollo’s builder, Apptronik’s CEO said: “Science fiction has promised us these for a long time.”
- (He doesn’t mention any of the thrilling post-apocalyptic science fiction stories where robots unite and take over the world.)
