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.”
Innovative applications of technology in retail and e-commerce, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, automotive, transport & logistics, and more will be celebrated at the Robotics & Automation Awards on 29 October 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
