Mercedes-Benz is testing humanoid robots from Apptronikto automate manual tasks in manufacturing.
This partnership signifies a move towards future automation and addresses labor shortages. The robots, like Apptronik's Apollo, are designed for low-skill, physically demanding
Apptronik's Apollo robots, trialed by Mercedes-Benz, revolutionize manufacturing by automating tasks alongside humans, showcasing the increasing interest in AI robotics, as seen with Figure's funding success.
Apptronik's CEO imagines a future where Apollo can perform mundane nursing tasks, freeing up nurses to devote their time to the core and fulfilling aspects of their role, which is patient care.
This will make nursing jobs more appealing and address the global nursing shortage.
