    Who will unveil their humanoid robot first in November: Optimus V3, Figure 04, next-generation Apollo

    The launch windows for Tesla's Optimus V3, Figure 04, and Apptronik's next-generation Apollo overlap heavily, clustering between November-December and 2027. Musk said Optimus V3 may release a video demonstrating non-preprogrammed movements within one or two months, and Tesla's December 3 shareholder meeting is seen as a high-probability observation point; Figure 04 completed design lock in May and has entered production preparation, with outside predictions putting its launch window between late 2026 and early 2027.

    Humanoid robot Apollo has entered factory testing, and the "brain" is not what determines success

    Apptronik's Apollo humanoid robot has been combined with Google DeepMind's Gemini multimodal reasoning capabilities and is being tested on production lines at Mercedes-Benz, Jabil, and others for tasks such as moving packages, picking parts, and quality inspection. Apollo is about 1.73 meters tall with a 25 kg payload, equipped with 30 actuators and fused perception from stereo depth cameras and LiDAR, and uses swappable batteries for about four hours of runtime with a two-minute battery swap. Conroy emphasized that data collection and scaling compute are driving physical AI to cope with environmental changes, but general autonomy remains a longer-term goal.

    Google DeepMind uses Gemini 4 Argon to teach Apptronik's Apollo humanoid new skills from video

    Google DeepMind demonstrated a robot training technique alongside the release of Gemini 4 Argon: after watching raw video of a person playing cornhole, the model analyzes the environment, maps spatial coordinates, and computes full-body joint motion, automatically generating simulation code, then transfers the learned behavior to Apptronik's Apollo humanoid robot, which hit seven consecutive shots in real-machine testing.

    Google releases Gemini 4 Argon, demo shows transfer from human video to Apptronik Apollo humanoid robot

    Google has officially opened Gemini 4 Argon to developers, enterprises, and paid subscribers worldwide; the core upgrade is stronger long-horizon task execution and multimodal capabilities. In the official demo, after watching a video of a person playing beanbag toss, Argon analyzed spatial relationships, calculated full-body joint motion, autonomously wrote simulation code, and transferred the plan to Apptronik's Apollo humanoid robot. Google says this video-to-simulation-to-reality pipeline can compress simulation modeling that previously took weeks of manual work into a few hours.
