Apptronik, an Austin, TX-based AI-powered humanoid robotics company, raised additional $53M in Series B funding.
The round, which brought the total amount to 403M, was led by Capital and Capital Factory, with participation from Google. Mercedes-Benz, Japan Post Capital, ARK Invest, Helium-3, Magnetar, RyderVentures, Korea Investment Partners, and others also participated.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the production and deployment of its AI-powered humanoid robot, Apollo, and support growing customer demand across key industries, including automotive, electronics manufacturing, third-party logistics, beverage bottling and fulfillment, and consumer packaged goods.
Led by CEO Jeff Cardenas, Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered humanoid robots. IT aims to create human helpers to support humanity in every facet of life.

It has over 150 employees.
Apptronik and GoogleDeepMind announced a strategic partnership to build the next generation of humanoid robots. In the past 12 months, Apptronik secured foundational commercial engagements with industry leaders Mercedes-Benz and GXO and worked with NVIDIA to leverage Apollo in Omniverse digital twins. Last month, the company also announced a pilot engagement and strategic collaboration with Jabil to build Apollo humanoid robots and integrate them into Jabil’s manufacturing operations, paving the way for Apollo humanoid robots to build more humanoid robots.
