Apptronik announces new venture Elevate Robotics





Apptronik, a robotics company known for its AI-powered humanoid robots, has announced the launch of a new wholly owned subsidiary, Elevate Robotics Inc.

The new venture will focus on developing automation solutions for heavy-duty industrial tasks that go beyond the limitations of human capabilities and the humanoid form.

Apptronik’s decision to establish Elevate marks a strategic expansion beyond its flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, which represents over a decade of innovation and technological development. Since its founding, Apptronik has built more than 15 robotic systems, with Apollo serving as the company’s most advanced product to date.

While Apptronik will continue its work on Apollo and other humanoid platforms, Elevate Robotics will operate independently to commercialise what the company describes as a “multipurpose automation solution” designed to revolutionise large-scale industrial labour.

Jeff Cardenas, Apptronik co-founder and CEO, said: “Elevate shares Apptronik’s core, human-centred DNA and vision of building robots to help humanity, and they’re applying novel technology to tackle heavy-duty tasks in various sectors.”

While Apptronik continues advancing its humanoid robot Apollo, Elevate will concentrate specifically on industrial-scale work, tackling tasks like machine tending, palletization, case picking, trailer unloading, and workcell delivery—not limited by the humanoid form.

This new venture will commercialize a multipurpose automation solution that goes past the confines of "walking robots," aiming to revolutionize the logistics, manufacturing, 3PL, and retail sectors.

Elevate Robotics plans to rapidly commercialize its solutions by deploying systems capable of handling heavy-duty industrial tasks across sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, and retail. With its independence and focused leadership, it’s positioned to scale quickly and meet industrial demands—ushering in a new era of "superhuman" automation.

Beyond manufacturing: Cobots in healthcare, labs, and food service

Image
When you hear the word “robot”, you probably picture a massive, unmoving arm on an assembly line, precisely welding car parts or lifting heavy machinery. And for good reason – industrial robots have revolutionized manufacturing for decades.  But a new breed of robotic assistants, collaborative robots or cobots, are breaking free from the factory floor, proving their versatility and value in an array of surprising environments. Designed to work safely alongside humans, cobots are now making significant inroads into fields like healthcare, laboratory research, and even food service, transforming how we approach tasks in these diverse sectors. Healthcare: A helping hand for professionals and patients In the fast-paced and often understaffed world of healthcare, cobots are emerging as invaluable allies. They aren’t replacing human caregivers but rather augmenting their capabilities, taking on repetitive or physically demanding tasks that free up medical professionals to focus on direct...

GreenBot unveils autonomous system for weeding woody crop areas

Image
The   GreenBot   project has taken a key step towards sustainable agriculture with the field deployment of a high-precision autonomous vehicle designed for the smart and localized control of weeds in woody crops such as almond, citrus, and olive trees. This breakthrough, made possible thanks to a public-private partnership, integrates artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and machine vision to optimize the use of plant protection products, reduce costs, and mitigate the environmental impact of intensive farming. A tech response to an agronomic challenge Weeds pose a constant threat to agricultural production, with estimated crop yield losses of up to 40%. Conventional control methods, based on the widespread application of herbicides, are not only costly (up to 30% of production costs) but also harmful to the environment due to drift or runoff. GreenBot addresses this problem through a precise and targeted approach, adapted to the complex environment of woody crops, where ac...
