The honest brief

Apptronik

Targets industrial deployment now — real Mercedes-Benz and GXO pilots and a DeepMind model partnership, while many humanoid rivals are still demo-stage.

  • In real factory and warehouse pilots
  • Swappable 4-hour battery packs
  • 55 lb payload in human spaces
  • Google DeepMind / Gemini Robotics partner
  • Not yet at commercial scale
  • Enterprise RaaS only — no consumer product
  • Unproven outside pilot programs

Cobot

Bets on a practical wheeled design over costly bipedal humanoids, already piloting with Mayo Clinic, Maersk and Moderna.

  • Practical wheeled design vs pricey humanoids
  • Moves carts up to 1,500 lb
  • Real early customers across sectors
  • Founder led 500K+ robots at Amazon
  • Not a general-purpose humanoid
  • Enterprise deployments, not buyable off-the-shelf
  • Capital-intensive, early commercial stage
