Gemini 4 Argon taught a robot to play cornhole just by watching a video.
It mapped the physics, coded its own simulation, and taught @Apptronik's Apollo humanoid to sink 7 throws in a row.
Apollo catching up on the news, cover story included 👀 #IMTS2026 brought out the best of manufacturing, and Apollo made the front page. Incredible week meeting industry professionals and the next generation of them at the booth. Thanks, Chicago!

Today, CEO Jeff Cardenas joined @SimonettiLauren on @FoxBusiness to discuss the need for a U.S. robotics supply chain - and ambitions to build it right here in Texas 🦾

Are you at #IMTS in Chicago? If so, Apollo wants to meet you. Swing by the Google Cloud booth (236709) in the North Hall and say hi.

Apollo, made in America! 🇺🇸 A photograph of Apollo 1 is being displayed at the @cooperhewitt Smithsonian Design Museum’s Made in America exhibition - Christopher Payne's stunning tribute to American manufacturing.
Having just launched Apollo 2 last month, Apollo 1's retirement plan is looking pretty good.
The exhibit is in NYC through Sept 27 as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebrations. If you're in New York, don't miss this Made in America exhibit!

To be truly useful, a robot needs the dexterity that humans take for granted. But asking AI models to coordinate these motions is incredibly complicated.
In this demo, we pushed Apollo 2 to master fine motor skills and complete tricky kitchen chores ↓

Gemini Robotics 2 moves physical AI beyond tabletop tasks, enabling intelligent whole-body control for humanoids.
Watch @Apptronik's Apollo 2 process a single prompt to reach, bend, and pick up a watering can ↓
Huge congrats to the @GoogleDeepMind team on launching Gemini Robotics 2! Watching Apollo 2 use advanced reasoning to navigate whole-body tasks and fine-tuned dexterity is a massive leap forward. See it for yourself! 👇 #apptronik #robotics #AI #humanoids
Congrats Kay Sheils Kingsbury on being named to @MyABJ 2026 Best CFO at a startup! Excited to see this well-deserved recognition 👏 #robotics #ai #cfo #apptronik

Today we’re announcing Robot Park, our nearly 90,000-square-foot facility where Apollo 2 is collecting real-world training data needed to advance autonomous humanoid robots. Learn more about Robot Park and Apollo 2 here: bit.ly/3R5TLyh
Assembling the Leadership to Power the Next Generation of Humanoid Robots
To bring humanoid robots 🤖 like #Apollo into everyday use, you need more than great technology: you need leaders who have scaled it before.
As we prepare for our next phase of growth, we’ve bolstered our executive bench with veterans from the world’s most innovative tech giants like Waymo, Boston Dynamics, and Amazon.

Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve raised more than $935M in Series A funding with a $520M Series A-X extension round, bringing our total capital raised to nearly $1B.
This milestone is a powerful vote of confidence in our mission: building AI-powered humanoid robots designed to work alongside humans.
With this new funding, we’ll be able to:
- Ramp production of #Apollo
- Expand global commercial and pilot deployments
- Build next-generation facilities for robot training and data collection
- Accelerate real-world impact across manufacturing, logistics, and beyond
We’re proud to be backed by an incredible group of repeat and new investors, including @BCapitalGroup, @Google, @MercedesBenz, @ATT Ventures, @JohnDeere, QIA, and more.
The future of embodied #AI is happening now, and Apollo is just the beginning.
