Apptronik, Inc.

Spun out of UT Austin's Human Centered Robotics Lab, Apptronik initially developed exoskeletons and specialized robots before focusing on general-purpose humanoids. Founded in 2016 by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, the company now employs over 150 people and collaborates with NASA, Google DeepMind, and major manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and GXO Logistics. Until April 2025, it has raised US$350 million in a 2025 Series A round (led by B Capital and Capital Factory) to scale production, following earlier revenue-driven growth where it outpaced its prior US$28 million in funding.
